Delta Academy Manual: Dreamcaster, 1997› Knowing Me, Developing me, Preparing me

Delta GEMs, 2005› Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully

EMBODI, 2008› Empowering Males to Build Opportunities to Develop independence

All 3 curriculum manuals were updated 2011 Similarities:

› Historical perspective, intention, rationale, mission› Selection criteria (participants and volunteer)› Relevant components› Chapter needs

Differences:› Ages (lvl)› Collaboration (w/ similar male organizations)› Experts

Age Appropriate Activities Participant Retention (activities should vary) Sample Activities Ask city representatives for $

“US” Talk› Words from the National President:

1. “Bootleg” DST Vendors2. “Our Big Mouths”

› Mom’s advice: “Live your life so that when people lie on you others don’t believe it.”

3. “Hazing. I’m Scurred.”› We are invited to the university by permission…› 5/30 felt comfortable/strong enough stand up to advisors about

not following the national procedure. “Sorors, it’s scary.”› “Sorors, (we) gotta be willing to stop this… If I could just beg

you with your cum la and mag la self— you’re telling me the national process of my sorority is not good enough.”

› “Take made and paper out your mouth, just say we’re all Deltas.”

Words from Dr. Walker:› “I’m afraid we won’t make it. Hazing and the court cases are

serious.”› The investigators have records from 10years ago on Delta. We

don’t have our own records to defend ourselves. › “Our sorors have decided that Delta isn’t worth it anymore.”› “They’re about to take over our stuff because we’re giving it

away.”› “Not afraid, but out right scared that we won’t exist.” Some of

us are “c^3”—coarse, crude, and common.› “I know soror is saying we need to increase our numbers, but

sometimes we need to purge first.”

Words from Thelma T. Daley:› “Delta is bigger than you, your campus, and your spec, and your specs spec,

and you grand spec whatever you want to call it.”› “It’s time to stop trying to protect ourselves from our members, it’s time to start

throwing our members under the bus.”› “If it’s between us and you—you gotta go.”

Words from Dr. Rice:› Those people who are doing these things—we didn’t look for you, you came to

us... What happened to these values?”› “What’s going on in the minds of these 3 + (GPA) people… to let people

mistreat them and bow down.”› “We got to stop the madness soror”› “It’s not what I saw in Delta, but what I saw I could do for Delta.”› “It’s up to every single one of us up here to be our sister’s keeper to survive.”

Words from the National President:› “I was a tattle tale in class...”

Words from our Regional Director:› “It’s great to talk about it, but what are we gonna do?”

Cutting Down: (Dr. Walker)› Cheating on the DAT› 10 + years of fine or inactivity will receive a

notification and failure to pay will result in expulsion

› hazing “like a strong wind tearing down” our sorority. If there is no sorority there will be no commitment. Mission: Bring Law & Order throughout all regions

—“to sorors that just don’t get it, hazing will not be tolerated.”

Accomplishments:› 3 New Honorary Members› Updated Impeachment Process› Advisor training supplements
