Programs

The new significant program, Compass + Outward Bound, is described in Part III on Line 4b.

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).

  1. Leadership education: the emerge conference series is the fraternity's premier leadership education experience designed for newly elected chapter officers. Hosted across many geographic locations, emerge brings together hundreds of undergraduate leaders to participate in intensive, role-specific training and collaborative programming. The curriculum focuses on equipping officers with the tools necessary to lead their chapters effectively, emphasizing operational excellence, health and safety, values-based leadership, and personal development. Each conference features officer curriculum, opportunities for connection with fraternity staff, alumni volunteers, and peers/other officers in their region. Emerge is the largest leadership training program offered by the fraternity and serves as a foundational development experience for chapter success.

Compass + outward bound offered a total of four (4) expeditions (utah canyon backpacking, maine coast sailing, blue ridge backpacking and green river whitewater rafting) and served a total of 46 members (undergraduate and alumni). The fraternity's post assessment showed growth in all nine (9) skill areas, all participants agreed or strongly agreed with growth statements and on average participants rated the program an 8.83/10 when asked how likely they are to recommend this compass experience to someone they know.

Programming emphasizes values-based leadership, operational best practices, health and safety, personal development, and the long-term vitality of chapters and the broader organization. Karnea also provides unparalleled opportunities for connection and collaboration, fostering meaningful engagement between undergraduate leaders, alumni, and volunteers, and (continued on schedule o)

  4. The fraternity hosts the compass experience partnering with leadershape, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization focused on leadership skills, to host its flagship program, the leadershape institute. The leadershape institute serves as the foundational program for emerging leaders within delta tau delta that are interested in fostering leadership skillset. The program is a 4-day immersive experience grounded in helping individuals identify the values they hold that lead to making a difference in communities around them. The curriculum utilizes self-assessment, intensive small group discussions, team-building challenges and feedback in a learning community, while participants develop a vision for something they care about.
