The Collegiate Advisory Board is a standing focus group of collegians that provides the Fraternity with a collegiate perspective on issues of evaluating externally-driven programming and topics facing college campuses today, including mental health, sexual assault awareness and drug and alcohol use. After an application process, 27 women were chosen to serve on the second Collegiate Advisory Board, three women from each region (including the New Chapter Region). To create a diverse group, we selected collegians of all ages, both officers and non-officers, students from semester and quarter schools, members from varying size campuses, students at both private and public schools, members of varying size Delta Gamma chapters and members actively involved outside of Delta Gamma.
The following are the 27 selected members of the 2018 Collegiate Advisory Board.
