DONATIONS IN ACTION
Chapter Presidents Academy
Delta Zeta’s newly elected collegiate chapter presidents took a big leap at the Chapter Presidents Academy in early February. Chapter leaders learned to cultivate Love, generate Energy, inspire Audacity and provide Proof – in other words, how to become an Extreme Leader. This leadership development curriculum was based on the book The Radical Leap by Steve Farber, and provided opportunities for networking with chapters of similar sizes and experiences.
At the end of the Academy, the presidents were asked to write a letter to our Founders. Here’s a sample of their thoughts . . .
Delta Zeta has changed me greatly in the past year. It has moved from a social network of crazy fun to an integral part of my personal growth as a leader and a woman.
I love what Delta Zeta has given me: confidence, knowledge, love, character, and even deeper moral values and principles. It has given me a new family, new goals, and new aspirations.
A specific grant from the Foundation provided for the purchase of a copy of The Radical Leap for every Presidents Academy and Alumnae Academy participant.
