Serving the Fraternity for more than 80 years, the Collegiate Development Consultant (CDC) program plays a vital role in elevating the collegiate chapter experience. Each year, Delta Gamma hires a team of recent graduates to serve as CDCs, empowering and coaching our collegiate leaders and chapters to reach their full potential.
Collegiate Development Consultants are recent college graduates and Delta Gamma members. As paid Delta Gamma Fraternity staff members, CDCs devote a year to serve the Fraternity by providing leadership development, education and guidance to collegiate chapters. They may travel to Delta Gamma chapters across the United States and Canada or assist with a newly established Delta Gamma chapter for the duration of their contract. Collegiate Development Consultants are responsible for helping chapters uphold Fraternity policies, strengthen operational practices, cultivate inclusive and values‑based membership experiences, and ensure long‑term chapter health.
Through scheduled campus visits, our consultants collaborate with chapter officers, advisers, campus partners, and Fraternity leadership to assess chapter needs and deliver tailored coaching and education. Their work reinforces Delta Gamma’s commitment to excellence, belonging, and the personal development of every member.
CDCs evaluate chapter operations, identify areas of strength and improvement, and support officers in implementing new ideas, effective practices, or enhanced operations.
Consultants facilitate workshops, officer trainings, and leadership conversations that reinforce Delta Gamma’s values and enhance the skills of chapter leaders across all positions.
Consultants provide guidance on sisterhood programming, retention strategies, officer transitions, harm prevention, and the creation of meaningful, mission driven member experiences.
CDCs work closely with regional volunteers, advisory teams, and Delta Gamma Executive Offices staff members to ensure coordinated support and consistent communication with chapters.
There is no shortage of benefits and transferable skills from the CDC role that further career readiness. Former CDCs have become educators, lawyers, business professionals, doctors, and a multitude of other professional paths. Past consultants have even gone on to serve as Delta Gamma Fraternity’s President, Foundation Board of Trustees Chairwoman, and so much more. No matter your desired field, the skills and experiences gained from serving as a CDC are unmatched. Below are a few highlights from recent CDCs.
Consultants develop expertise in time management, professional communication, facilitation skills, conflict resolution, and strategic planning- skills highly valued in post‑graduate careers.
The role offers immense opportunities to boost self-sufficiency, gain confidence in handling complex situations, develop and implement coaching strategies and refine your specific leadership approach.
CDCs build lasting relationships with Fraternity staff, volunteers, campus professionals, and fellow consultants, forming a network that extends far beyond their year of service. Consider it a sisterhood within a sisterhood!
Above all, CDCs make a tangible, lasting impact on the success and well-being of Delta Gamma chapters, strengthening the Fraternity’s future through direct service to our members.
