Tips for Chapter Strengthening
Growing a stronger chapter can seem challenging and, sometimes, overwhelming. Where can a chapter find new members? How can a chapter keep current members engaged and active? What attracts members to meetings? How can a chapter inspire members to take leadership roles?
As a chapter president with these questions, remember to engage the chapter's other officers and chairs in the efforts to strengthen the chapter, as well. Working together with the appropriate tools can make the task easier and more effective. Engage the entire chapter in accomplishing this goal!

Tools for Chapters from the International Membership Committee
- Engage the chapter or the executive committee/board in a discussion about how healthy the chapter is at the current time. Have an open and honest conversation. Use the diagnostic grid from "It Doesn't Take Barbells to Strengthen a Chapter" series.
- Check up on the health of the chapter using Green Flags Indicating a Healthy Chapter or the Generational Survey.
- As a chapter, note what the DKG Constitution indicates about the required business of a chapter. Read Mandates for Chapters from the Delta Kappa Gamma International Constitution.
- For helpful strategies, visit the documents listed on this page. They directly relate to the quadrant in which chapter members place the chapter.
