Introducing Clutch
Delta Zeta believes in positive prevention planning. We work with each chapter to determine ways for members to participate in events that are safe and fun in order that they might retain the social aspect to their sorority experience.
Clutch is an app that provides a way to make sure our chapters plan social events that are compliant with all Delta Zeta National Policies and Procedures, including the Constitution, Standing Rules and Policies and Fraternal Information and Programming Group, Inc. policies to help prevent high-risk situations from occurring.
In the Clutch, members access essentials for a great time, tips on how their fun can be increased, and a discussion of ways the night could be ruined.
Like a physical clutch a member keeps close, our Clutch system stores information on risk prevention in a safe and secure place where the member can reference it whenever questions arise.
Members access the Clutch app by logging into the Delta Zeta Members side of the website. You can learn more about the growing solutions presented via Clutch by writing [email protected].
Alcohol Awareness
Delta Zeta chapters have participated in National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week (NCAAW) each fall and has become a leader in the education of college-age students about alcohol consumption. Inspiring students to examine their lifestyle choices and make informed decisions regarding alcohol, Delta Zeta women from across the country and Canada educate their communities by talking about the effects of alcohol on one’s body, the warning signs of alcohol abuse, social respect and consent around alcohol consumption, preventative social event planning processes and other topics!
National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week will be October 15-21, 2023.
Member and Chapter Accountability Form
Violations of the Delta Zeta Sorority policies and procedures, membership obligations and/or standards of conduct by its chapters or individual members require us to hold individual members or chapters accountable. Specific causes for discipline are outlined in the Sorority Policies.
The goal of Delta Zeta’s accountability process is not punishment or probation, the goal is helping a sister improve for the future and have a healthier relationship with her environment. We therefore approach the accountability process with empathy and respect for all chapters, new members, initiated members and alumnae. Delta Zeta’s Accountability Process seeks to resort, repair and strengthen individuals and chapters, while understanding that occasionally we will determine an individual or chapter may need to part ways with Delta Zeta Sorority.
