Overview
A Chapter Leadership Fund (CLF) is a dedicated account within the Delta Sigma Phi Foundation that allows donors to contribute toward the leadership and educational initiatives of a specific undergraduate chapter. This fund is earmarked to benefit that particular chapter and is used to provide financial assistance for chapter-specific leadership programming, scholarships, and educational opportunities.
Geographic Scope: Delta Sigma Phi collegiate chapters (US)
Focus Areas:
- Scholarships: Local, chapter-level scholarships for new and initiated members committed to academic excellence
- Educational Spaces: Equipment and furniture for educational spaces, such as computers, monitors, desks, bookshelves
- Leadership Training: Costs associated with transportation, meals, and lodging when attending Fraternity training programs
- National Convention: Costs associated with registration, transportation, meals, and lodging for biennial Convention
What They Don't Fund:

Eligibility: Each Delta Sigma Phi collegiate chapter
