Today is World Diabetes Day, and Delta Tau Delta is proud to stand alongside the 1.45 million Americans living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) as a philanthropic partner of Breakthrough T1D.

Attention undergraduate members: your voice matters! The deadline to participate in the Membership Impact Study is fast approaching! We encourage you to submit your survey so that we can better understand how our members experience Delta Tau Delta. What we know: In 2023, 4,229 members completed the survey, representing 53% of the total valid undergraduate population. Here’s what we found: * 41% of our members work full or part-time. * 68% pay for all or a portion of their dues. * 15% are first-generation college students. What we can learn: We have a unique opportunity to improve in belonging, affinity, commitment, and satisfaction. However, we’ve seen a decline in key areas over the past three years, including career advancement ambition, self-authorship, professional preparedness, and leadership, among others. New Format: The MIS will now be completed each fall, giving chapters their results in January to utilize throughout the year. We recommend setting aside 30 minutes during a chapter meeting for everyone to participate. The more voices we have, the better the data—and the more we can positively impact your experience! Deadline Alert: Be sure to complete the survey by November 1, 2024. Check Your Inbox: The survey was emailed to the address on file with MyDelt. Look for an email from "[email protected] on behalf of surveymonkey.com" with the subject line "Delta Tau Delta Membership Impact Survey." Questions? Email [email protected].
