Regional Leadership Academies

For years, Delta Chi’s nine governing Regions hosted annual leadership conferences for our active and alumni members. These two-day, Regional Leadership Conferences (also known as RLCs), provided Delta Chi active members an opportunity to gather within their Region, connect with other brothers across North America, participate in professional development opportunities, engage in officer and leadership training, and vote on Regional Business. During the 2023 RLCs, each of Delta Chi’s nine regional bodies voted in favor of the Board of Regents redirecting the 2024 RLC program to a Regional Leadership Academy format. In 2024, Delta Chi’s nine regions voted to continue the Regional Leadership Academy(RLA) program for 2025.
This format will allow Delta Chi members to engage in a weekend of officer development and leadership training. Held over two weekends, chapters/provisional chapters will attend their designated RLA (see below) and participate in a brotherhood experience like no other!

What to Expect? (2024 Overview)

After voting at the convention, Brothers decided to keep RLA for 2025. For 2025, you can expect similar to what was created for 2024 RLA: Delta Chi’s four Regional Leadership Academies (RLAs) are a full one-stop program for our chapters to engage in leadership development, recruitment training, professional development, brotherhood, and Fraternity business before the spring term. The RLA experience will help chapters better prepare for their upcoming recruitment initiatives, jumpstart their executive board experiences, and enhance their intrapersonal skills. The 2024 RLAs will provide: 

  • The “A”s’ Academy experience
  • Leadership training for all lettered officers
  • Recruitment training for Recruitment Chairs and non-lettered officers
  • Delta Chi’s Dale Carnegie Scholar Program
  • Dale Carnegie workshop for all participants
  • Recruitment workshop for all participants
  • Risk Management training for all participants
  • Delta Chi Ritual
  • Brotherhood activities
  • Regional business sessions

Each year, we invite the “A” (President) from each chapter to attend “A”s’ Academy, one of Delta Chi’s premier leadership experiences that brings our members together from across North America to learn and connect.

Our collegiate leaders return to their chapters with confidence and new insight through a curriculum focused on leadership development, personal and professional growth, and goal setting.

“A”s’ Academy is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for our collegiate leaders, made possible by the commitment of an all-star facilitation team. This year, "A"s will participate in the "A"s' Academy experience at RLA. Per Delta Chi Law, attendance is required for all incoming "A"s (or "A"s that are in office for spring 2024). 

The Delta Chi Dale Carnegie Scholars program is a no-additional-cost, premier professional leadership development experience offered to Delta Chi undergraduate members. No other fraternal organization provides this exclusive opportunity! Dale Carnegie’s world-renowned program is based on more than 100 years of experience and is designed to build greater self-confidence, strengthen people skills, enhance communication, develop leadership skills, reduce stress, and improve attitudes.

  • One collegiate member from each chapter will become a Dale Carnegie Scholar and have the opportunity to earn college credits as they engage in the proven, Dale Carnegie Course®, with a goal of developing critical professional and life-leadership skills that today’s employers are seeking.

  • Session one will be completed virtually in early January 2024 and all Scholars will attend the 2024 Regional Leadership Academy experience to participate in the full in-person program. 

Chapter's MUST declare its Dale Carnegie Scholar by 11:59pm ET on November 20, 2024.  The "A" is responsible for submitting their chapter scholar by completing this submission form. Are you not the "A" of your chapter but want to nominate yourself or someone in your brotherhood? Click here to submit your nomination. 

In addition to the Dale Carnegie Scholars Program, all RLA participants will experience a Dale Carnegie workshop to enhance their leadership skills.

Executive Board members (lettered officers) have the unique opportunity to engage with other officers from their regions. At RLA, officers will work together to learn leadership skills, set goals, and become unified within their respective executive boards all while building connections with brothers from other institutions.

Recruitment chairs and non-lettered officers will experience a premier recruitment training experience that will level up their chapter's recruitment efforts. Brought to you by Phired Up, recruitment training participants will learn and execute recruitment tactics in real time and leave the RLA experience with tangible recruitment outcomes for their chapters. This is different than any other recruitment training Delta Chi has facilitated for our members and we cannot wait to see the impact it makes for every Delta Chi that attends! 

Attending RLA: Alumni are encouraged to attend RLA and participate in Ritual, the Dale Carnegie Keynote, the Recruitment Keynote from Phired Up, Fraternity Business Sessions, and Regional business sessions. Alumni should register to the RLA of their choice (we strongly suggest choosing the RLA that is in closest proximity).

  1. Chapter “A”- Required
  2. Dale Carnegie Scholar- Required
  3. Lettered Officers: “B”
  4. Lettered Officer: “C”
  5. Lettered Officer: “D”
  6. Lettered Officer: “E”

Chapters/Provisional chapters are required to send a minimum of four members to RLA but are expected to send a delegation of at least eight. The incoming chapter “A” (or the “A” that will be in office in January 2025) is expected to attend “A”s’ Academy as stated by Delta Chi Law. As “A”s’ Academy is part of RLA, they will need to be present.

A chapter’s Dale Carnegie Scholar must also be in attendance to participate in the full in-person Dale Carnegie course. 

The rest of the chapter/provisional chapter delegation should be made up of lettered officers, the Recruitment Chair, and/or the Associate Member Counselor. Anyone who attends will be expected to select a specific officer training track to participate in for RLA. 

Should a chapter/provisional chapter not meet its attendance requirements, it will not meet the minimum standard for attendance and will be on minimum standards (bad standing). This will impact the Chapter/Provisional Chapter’s ability to vote during regional business sessions.

No. Alumni and advisors must register separately from chapters/provisional chapters. Chapters/provisional chapters are required to have a minimum of four members in attendance but the cost of RLA covers up to eight members. Alumni can register separately for the RLA experience, and participate in the alumni/advisor track and all general sessions.

There are several expectations for all attendees for RLA: 

  • RLA is a substance-free event throughout the entire program (Friday-Sunday). If any attendee violates this expectation, they will be asked to leave RLA at their own expense and chapters/provisional chapters may face disciplinary action from their Regent. This could include not meeting the full attendance requirements for the program.
  • All Participants are expected to comply with the Fraternity's Risk Management Policies during RLA.
  • All participants are expected to attend every session of the program to receive full attendance credit and for their chapter/provisional chapter to be eligible for travel assistance.

There is an option for alumni and friends of Delta Chi to serve as a small group (known as POD) facilitator for one of the officer training tracks during the RLA experience. To express an interest, please fill out this form by October 15, 2024: RLA Call for Facilitators

The registration cost per chapter/provisional chapters and alumni/volunteers will be released soon. 

Chapters/provisional chapters can expect to be charged a flat rate of registration that would cover the registration, meals, and hotel charge for up to 8 attendees, as well as an additional fee for every member sent over the eight person threshold. 

Alumni can expect a registration charge based on the days they want to attend, along with separate hotel costs depending on if they want a solo or shared room.

All individuals will need to register themselves to attend RLA.  It is recommended that each chapter/provisional chapter "A" ensure this is completed during an officer transition meeting or executive board meeting in advance of the registration deadline, to ensure the required attendees are included in the delegation. Chapters/provisional chapters must have a minimum of four participants registered to meet RLA attendance requirements and remain in good standing with the International Fraternity (including their "A" and Dale Carnegie Scholar).

Yes. Due to the nature of RLA programming, all attendees will be expected to stay at the host hotel regardless of proximity to RLA. Participants can expect early mornings and late evenings and the cost of RLA covers lodging, meals, and conference participation.

RLA participants will room with their chapter/provisional chapter brothers. Rooms will accommodate four members per room. Alumni will have different accommodation options available for them to select as part of their registration.

Schedule and specific arrival times will be released soon. Participants should expect to arrive in time for dinner on the Friday of their RLA session, and depart prior to lunch on the Sunday of their RLA session. If you have questions about departure and arrival times, please contact Director of Education, Kristen Kardas at kkardas@deltachi.org.

Yes. Regional business sessions, including Regent elections, will be held on Saturday of their RLA program.

Cost of additional attendees will be released soon. In 2024, chapters/provisional chapters that registered more than eight representatives were invoiced $125 per each additional member. Those members were be placed in a hotel room with other Delta Chi members, and to the best of our ability, placed in rooms near or with their chapter members.

Absolutely. Chapters/provisional chapters can register as many additional members as they wish; however, there will be a cost for each additional member. Chapters/provisional chapters should send their full executive board (all lettered officers), Dale Carnegie Scholar, Associate Member Counselor, and Recruitment Chair. Chapters are encouraged to bring additional members, but each attendee will need to register themselves and select a specific officer training track to attend.

Yes! Any member can register themselves to attend RLA. However, they will need to select the specific officer training track they will participate in during RLA. Tracks will be available for all lettered officers, the AMC, and Recruitment Chair. 

RLA attire expectations are as follows:

  • Friday: Delta Chi casual for travel and initial sessions
  • Saturday day: Polos and Chinos/Khakis
  • Saturday evening: Suit & tie for dinner, business meeting, and Ritual exemplification
  • Sunday: RLA shirt (received at check in)/Delta Chi casual for final sessions and travel home

Alumni are encouraged to attend RLA and participate in all general sessions (including Ritual exemplification, the Dale Carnegie Keynote, the Recruitment Keynote from Phired Up, Fraternity Business Sessions, and Regional Business Sessions), as well as breakout sessions specific for alumni/advisors.

Yes. Every chapter will be invoiced the full cost of attendance, regardless of their RLA delegation size. This is why it is recommended that they send a full delegation to receive the most cost-effective return for their chapter.

Yes. Dale Carnegie Scholars must attend their RLA with their chapter/provisional chapter in order to participate in the program. Scholars will attend virtual introductory sessions in early December and early January 2024 (prior to RLA) and will finish the full Dale Carnegie Course throughout the RLA weekend. They will also have the opportunity to complete their college credit application and learn how to add an exclusive LinkedIn certification to their profiles during RLA.

The Board of Regents is reviewing the weather policy. Once it is approved, we will share it here.
