Regional Leadership Seminars

Regional Leadership Seminar

Each spring Delta Upsilon facilitates five Regional Leadership Seminars (RLS).  These are opportunities for chapters in a geographical area to attend sessions on chapter programming, recruitment, and hear speakers on a wide range of topics affecting fraternity and sorority life today.  These conferences are also a great forum to exchange ideas by interacting with members from a wide range of chapters and diverse backgrounds.

2012 Regional Leadership Seminars 
As announced at this past summer's Leadership Institute, RLS is taking on a new format for 2012. Held at hotels and convention centers, rather than chapter house facilities, each RLS will have a consistent schedule and educational programming aimed at preparing Delta Upsilon's leaders for the year ahead. Officer-specific trainings will be held, as well as sessions that all undergraduates and chapter advisors could benefit from attending. Additionally, Saturday evening will feature a networking reception and banquet open to area alumni of the Fraternity.
