LeaderShape

The LeaderShape Institute is an interactive, energizing and unique experience that builds leadership skills. Since 1986, approximately 18,000 participants have graduated from the program all over the world. In 2004, 2,283 participants attended 51 LeaderShape Institutes, including both the national sessions and campus-based sessions. The LeaderShape Institute develops participants to "lead with integrity." The curriculum incorporates current leadership issues in such a way as to meet the developmental needs of young adults. The curriculum focuses on "take-home application" through the vehicle of a comprehensive and powerful LeaderShape Project. By working through the project, each participant has an opportunity to engage himself/herself in reflection, planning, one-on-one interactions, small group feedback, and large group learning.

Students are encouraged to practice new skills, give and receive feedback from peers and faculty, and risk new behaviors in a safe, supportive atmosphere. Everyone at The LeaderShape Institute is a teacher and everyone is a learner. The Delta Sigma Phi Foundation has provided partial and full scholarships for the LeaderShape Institute for many years. The Foundation also offers supplemental support for the campus-based LeaderShape program. For more information on LeaderShape Scholarships please contact Foundation@deltasig.org.

UIFI Scholarships

UIFI is a program facilitated by the NIC (North-American Interfraternity Conference). Since its inception in 1990, UIFI has challenged more than 5000 fraternity and sorority students representing almost 290 different universities and colleges, and 115 different Greek affiliations to make a difference in the Greek community.

The institute is interactive, fun, challenging, and intentional. During a session, participants will experience hands-on interaction, experiential activities, discussion time, and personal reflection time. There is considerable focus on the positive aspects of fraternities and sororities in addition to important discussions about issues that threaten our future.

Each UIFI participant is challenged to develop a personal plan of action and to make a commitment to leading their organization through the change process. It is a unique challenge, one that each participant must be willing to undertake.

The Delta Sigma Phi Foundation offers ten scholarships to UIFI annually. Since UIFI’s inception, Delta Sigma Phi has had over 60 members attend this organization-altering institute. To learn more about UIFI Scholarships, please contact Foundation@deltasig.org.
