Delta Chi has partnered with Dyad Strategies, an industry powerhouse in fraternity research and assessment, to join over 20 other international organizations to build and tabulate our Membership Experience Survey. The survey is a tool to help the International Fraternity, members, and advisors to understand their membership on a deeper level and identify behaviors to encourage a values-based brotherhood. Through this annual survey, Delta Chi will be able to improve our programs, provide stronger support, and understand what is needed to enhance the safe and thriving culture of Delta Chi.

Membership Experience Survey FAQ's
Every undergraduate student member (initiate and associate) on a chapter roster during the timeframe that the survey is open should complete the Membership Experience Survey. The more members who complete the survey, the more information the Fraternity has to make Delta Chi the best it can be on both the local and the international level. Having the most members complete the survey will also generate the best profile and information for your chapter to use!
An individualized link to the online survey will be emailed to each member starting on February 16th! Members will receive regular reminders until they complete the survey. The survey will close on March 15th, and members should complete their survey when they have 20-30 minutes available. The Membership Experience Survey can be completed from a computer, tablet, or mobile phone.
The best time to take the survey is during a meeting with all members completing it at the same time.
Survey responses are completely anonymous. The Fraternity will only have access to data on who has or has not completed the survey – but not any individual responses. This means IHQ can inform local leaders and advisors on which members still need to complete the survey during the time it is open. However, IHQ, advisors, and chapter leaders will not have access to specific answers or responses from individual members.
- Chapters that achieve a 90% or higher response rate will receive a $5 per member discount on their 2027-2028 Risk Management Assessment base rate. Conversely, chapters that do not reach at least a 35% response rate will receive a $10 per member surcharge.
- Every chapter will receive a tailored report that analyzes their member’s responses, and it will include comparison data for all years they have completed the survey. This will help local leadership and advisors steer their members in the right direction to meet future goals, create a values-based culture, and build a stronger Delta Chi brotherhood, and see improvements over time.
- Response rates also factor into each chapter’s Mid-Year Assessment and Chapter Operations Assessment. Survey completion can also play a role in making final determination for chapter-level awards, like the Brotherhood Gavel and President’s Cup.
The Membership Experience Survey is an important tool for the Fraternity and your chapter. The data provided directly determines educational programming decisions for the Fraternity’s in-person programs and events (including things like the Regional Leadership Academy, International Convention, and our in-person rotational program offerings), as well as offerings from Chapter Services like visits, and informs the work of the Board of Regents.
The chapter-level report that is distributed provides useful guidance into a chapter’s profile, risk factors, and can be influential for leaderships to establish goals and future plans.
Every student member of the Fraternity on the chapter’s roster (including associate and initiate members) will receive a unique link to their Membership Experience Survey during the month of February. Chapter officers and advisors will receive regular communication during the survey completion timeline regarding completion rates and members who have/have not completed the survey.
If you did not receive your link or want an update on your chapter’s completion process, contact Kristen Kardas, Director of Education, at kkardas@deltachi.org.
