Senior Pursuit
Facilitator’s Guide
Introduction: A Note to the Facilitator
Senior year is an exciting and tumultuous time for our Delta Gamma women. Seniors are the
most experienced group of the membership and offer a “wise” perspective to chapter life. At the
same time, they are preparing to enter the real world for the first time, navigating their first steps
into post-graduation life and all that comes with it.
The reality is that for a majority of seniors, their role in the chapter has changed. They no longer
assume positional leadership for the first time; members younger than themselves are leading
the chapter. They have been given new responsibilities such as internships, recruiting/networking
events, graduate school applications and final thesis papers. The emphasis the academic and
professional settings place on forward-looking activities make it difficult for many seniors who are
trying to straddle the line between gathering recommendations for fellowships and gathering
team members for Anchor Splash®.
It is Delta Gamma’s responsibility to support its seniors by recognizing that their chapter priorities
may not be the same as an underclassman. Instead, Delta Gamma should be a supportive group
that considers the stress many seniors experience in their last semester.
Delta Gamma’s lifetime experience goes both ways – membership is for life and thus, for each
life stage, Delta Gamma is there for its members. It is important that we acknowledge the special
role and place our seniors have in the chapter in order to best meet their needs as collegiate
members in addition to meeting our objective to mold them into active alumnae members. By
effectively identifying the needs and interests of seniors and tailoring our programming to meet
those needs, Delta Gamma can remain relevant to their senior membership.
Template Explanation
Senior programming is important and it requires a bit of planning on your part to ensure that
each moment of the senior programming meetings and each chapter activity are as memorable
and remarkable as possible.
To make your preparation easier, the Senior Pursuit Facilitator’s Guide includes a comprehensive
plan for each activity. Each plan provides the who, what and why of creating a valuable
experience for the senior member. To provide consistency, each lesson plan uses the same
straightforward format. The plans are designed to make sure you have all the information and
materials needed to successfully implement each senior activity.
Below is a short explanation of the sections included in each week’s lesson plan.
Time Allotted: This is the estimated time for each senior activity. This may vary, depending on
senior class size.
When: This is when the event should occur during the academic year.
Senior Pursuit | Facilitator’s Guide | Introduction
1
Facilitators: These chapter officers, directors, members and guests are designated to make
presentations, share information and build relationships with the senior class. Provide each of the
facilitators with sufficient notice of her upcoming senior activity, so she may prepare fully. Note:
The vice president: programming or director of senior programming (if your chapter is large
enough) are the facilitators unless otherwise stated.
Materials Required: These are the supplies − from index cards to Delta Gamma downloads −
that you will need to complete each activity. If you decide to include additional activities during a
meeting, make sure you consider and obtain all of the supplies you will need.
Learning Objectives: These are our purposes and goals for each activity. The learning objectives
provide the fundamentals Delta Gamma seniors should take away from their meetings.
Instructions: The instructions are your guide to implementing senior activities - supporting
achievement of the week’s learning objectives. Some activities are required, while others are
suggestions. We know there are many sisterhood and team building activities in addition to those
suggested. If you and other facilitators have great activity ideas that achieve the week’s goals and
learning objectives - use them!
Components of Program
There are three (3) primary components of the Senior Pursuit. The components are as follows:
1. Senior Survey – Survey of senior wants and needs in terms of senior programming
activities (beginning of term)
2. Mandatory Programs – Three (3) mandatory events to enhance the senior year (throughout
year)
3. Additional Activities – Additional senior activities planned and calendared for seniors only
(throughout year)
Attendance Expectations
Senior year lends itself to an increased workload for senior members as they prepare for
post graduation work while simultaneously strive to honor both Delta Gamma and academic
commitments. This often leads to over programming.
The goal for the Senior Pursuit is to design an experience that it is attainable for your senior
members. The mandatory events should be scheduled during chapter meeting so there is not
an additional meeting to attend. Expectations for senior attendance must be clearly described
in your chapter-specific standing rules for approval by your Regional Collegiate Specialist (RCS).
The process for submitting an excuse must be followed, as outlined in your bylaws/standing rules.
Things to consider for excused absences may include: interviews, internships, graduate exam
preparation classes, recruiting/networking events, and/or senior specific campus events. If you
have any questions, consult your Advisory Team Chairman (ATC), then your Regional Collegiate
Specialist (RCS).

Integrating New Members
The Pursuits were designed to complement your year in school, not your year in Delta Gamma.
This means if you have a senior new member, integrate her into the Senior Pursuit after she is
initiated. If you feel a different situation would work best for your chapter, please consult your
RCS.
Senior Pursuit | Facilitator’s Guide | Introduction

Component One - Survey
Time Allotted: 30-45 minutes
When: Beginning of the academic term
Facilitators: vp: programming, director of senior programming
Materials: Survey (see appendix), pencils/pens
Learning Objective: To learn senior members’ interests and needs in order to shape and
influence the Senior Pursuit
Instructions:
It is imperative that seniors have a large role in shaping the Senior Pursuit. In order to meet their
needs, ask seniors to complete the survey in the appendix or conduct a discussion forum asking
questions and recording answers. You may add additional questions to the survey.
Senior Pursuit | Facilitator’s Guide | Component 1

Component Two – Senior Events
The goal of the Senior Pursuit is to provide structure and flexibility of events. While there should
be an activity for seniors monthly, three events are a must! When completing the calendar
planning for the semester/quarter, the following three senior events should be on the calendar.
Keep in mind that the format of these events can be flexible. Seniors can stay after chapter; have
a separate meeting during chapter, etc. Talk with your Advisory Team Chairman and/or your
Regional Collegiate Specialist for assistance.
Event 1: Personalizing Our Ritual
Time Allotted: 1 hour 15 minutes
When: Week 9 of New Member Period; if no new member period, any time with just the senior
class
Where: A comfortable location, similar to a fireside, away from noise and other distractions. This
location should also be private as the secret meanings of Delta Gamma will be discussed.
Facilitators: vp: programming, vp: member education, director of senior programming, director
of new members, director of rituals
Participants: senior members and newly initiated members
Materials Required: new member notebook, Initiation ceremony, blank paper
Learning Objectives:
Newly initiated members and senior members will be knowledgeable of the key meanings and
proceedings as shared at Initiation.
New members and senior members will be able to articulate how we live the values of Delta
Gamma each day.
Instructions:
What Is Ritual – 10 minutes (director of rituals)
Review the significance of the Initiation ceremony indicating the following: “Initiation is the
ceremony that shares Delta Gamma’s purposes and calls each of us to live by its high ideals. The
ritual and the values associated are what make us unique from all other fraternal organizations.
All 200,000 members of Delta Gamma are bound to the same ideals. Welcome to our incredible
sisterhood!”
Ask “what is ritual?” Listen for the following elements and make the following points if the
members do not share:
• Our ritual is what makes us different from all others.
• The Initiation ceremony reflects the guiding philosophies for our actions as Delta Gammas;
It provides us with the values Delta Gammas must strive to live by, even after we graduate
from college.
• As Delta Gammas, we should live by our ritual each day, not just review it during the
Initiation ceremony once or twice a year.
Senior Pursuit | Facilitator’s Guide | Component 2
5
Second Degree Review – 10 minutes (vp: member education)
Display the Second Degree curtain, if able. Ask: “What do our Greek letters Delta Gamma
mean?” Listen for the correct response and review the Greek pronunciation as well. As a group,
repeat it several times to practice the pronunciation.
Ask the following questions:
• Delta Gamma means __________ (insert meaning of Delta Gamma). What do those words
mean to you? [Wait for several responses. Share the following sentiment after members
have had a chance to respond: As Delta Gammas we are bound together through a
sisterhood that is based on a set of principles or values as articulated in the Third Degree
and in the Oath of Friendship.]
• How do we maintain the honor of Delta Gamma? [Listen for how each member intends to
live or demonstrate the values of Delta Gamma. Examples may include striving to live the
Oath of Friendship, holding others accountable to the Statement of Obligation and values
espoused in our ritual, etc.]
• Senior members, please share a few examples when you saw another member bring honor
to Delta Gamma.
Third Degree Review – 10 minutes (vp: programming)
Display the Third Degree curtain, if able. Ask, “What does Tau Delta Eta mean?” Listen for the
correct response. Tau Delta Eta are the values of Delta Gamma.
Distribute a piece of paper to each newly initiated and senior member. Ask each to reflect and
journal on the meaning of Tau Delta Eta. Read the following instructions: “Over the next five-to
seven minutes, you are going to have the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of Tau Delta Eta
and how these values play out in our daily lives. Think back to a time when you demonstrated and
did not demonstrate the values of Tau Delta Eta. This could be while you were a member or prior
to being a member of Delta Gamma. Also, identify a time when you witnessed another member
exemplify these values.”
After five-to-seven minutes, ask for several volunteers to share their responses.
Share that another significant aspect of Third Degree is the sharing of our grip and password.
Demonstrate the grip and ask them to practice with the person next to them. Review proper
pronunciation and remind that the password should not be said above a whisper. Also review
what the password means.
Oath of Friendship – 15 minutes (director of new members)
Share that the Oath of Friendship is the third key piece of our ritual and was written in 1873
by our Founders and has not been changed. Recite the Oath of Friendship. Review the Oath
of Friendship line by line while standing in the friendship circle. Recite the Oath of Friendship
together several times.
Ask the following question:
• Based on the Oath of Friendship, what type of a friend does Delta Gamma ask us to be?
• Seniors, reflect back on your Delta Gamma experience. When did you see another Delta
Gamma be a champion in their absence?
Senior Pursuit | Facilitator’s Guide | Component 2
6
Ensure the following points are made:
• While we may not always agree with one another, each member deserves respect and
care.
• When times are difficult, Delta Gammas support one another.
• When members are not present, Delta Gammas treat one another with dignity and
respect.
• Delta Gamma friendship lasts a lifetime and surpasses the collegiate years.
Moving Forward – 10 minutes (director of senior programming)
Ask members to form a circle. Depending on the size of your group, you may want to divide the
group into two or three groups in order to allow each member adequate time to respond to the
question below. This session should be organized similar to a fireside.
Read or share the following: “Each of us is embarking on a new phase of our Delta Gamma
membership – either as a collegiate member or as an alumnae member. As you begin this next
phase, what role does ritual play? How does our ritual impact and guide our lives in the next
phase of our membership?”
Review of songs – 10 minutes (director of ritual)
Sing “Faithful and True,” which is only sung during Initiation and after the Oath of Friendship. You
may want to sing several times providing the newly initiated members time to learn the phrases.
Oath of Secrecy Review – 5 minutes (director of ritual)
Review the Oath of Secrecy located in the Invitation to Initiation. Share the meanings of Delta
Gamma are to be kept secret and that Delta Gamma members must remain faithful to this Oath.
Close by reminding the members that the ritual of Delta Gamma is our compass. It provides us
with the values to guide our actions and the call to direct our work. The values of Delta Gamma
must be demonstrated each day.
Closing Activities – 5 minutes (director of new members)
Announcements
Review information from chapter meeting. Remind newly initiated members of any upcoming
events, deadlines, etc. Remind senior members of upcoming senior programming events.

Instructions:
Benefits of Collegiate Membership – 15 minutes (director of senior programming)
Choose one of the options below that best suits that senior class.
Option 1
Ask each senior member to draw a picture of a simple house. Once each person has drawn her
house, read the following instructions:
• Beside the foundation, draw a picture depicting how Delta Gamma helped to strengthen
and define your personal values
• In the window, list the individuals Delta Gamma enabled you to see/meet
• On the wall, describe how Delta Gamma supports you
• On the door, list two opportunities Delta Gamma opened up for you
• On the roof, draw a symbol that resembles how Delta Gamma protects you

classes larger than 20, divide into equal groups, no larger than 20 members each, and ask each
member of the smaller group to share two items.
Option 2
Ask each senior member to draw a stick figure. Once each person has drawn her stick person,
read the following instructions:
• Next to the eyes, name one Delta Gamma who you look up to; a person you admire

Benefits of Alumnae Membership – 30 minutes (vp: programming and/or an alumna member if present)
Select one of the options below. It is preferable to select Option 1 so the senior members can
personally connect with an alumna member and hear her story.
Option 1
Ask the local alumnae group president, chapter adviser or other local alumna to discuss the
benefits and privileges of alumnae membership. Provide the guest speaker with the Benefits of
Alumnae Membership worksheet so she can touch upon each of the benefits listed.
Share that just as the collegiate Delta Gamma experience offers benefits as you just described
in the previous activity, so does the alumnae experience. Delta Gamma continues to provide
members with privileges not found among other organizations. [Insert name of alumna guest
speaker] is an alumna member who is going to share her story with us discussing the benefits and
privileges of alumnae membership.
Option 2
Share that just as the collegiate Delta Gamma experience offers benefits as you just described
in the previous activity, so does the alumnae experience. Delta Gamma continues to provide
members with privileges not found amongst other organizations.
Give each senior the Alumnae Privileges worksheet. Ask the seniors to read through the list and
circle each way they hope to give back to Delta Gamma over the course of her lifetime.
Then ask the senior members to select the two items they commit to doing their first year as
alumnae by putting a star next to those items.
After selecting these two items, read each of the items aloud. Ask the seniors to stand up when
the item read was one of the two items they committed to doing next year as an alumna.
Ask the following processing questions:
• Were there any activities on this list that surprised you?
• What activities should be added to this list?
After Graduation – 10 minutes (director of senior programming and/or an alumna member if present)
Share that after graduation, seniors can connect with their local alumnae group by emailing
[email protected]. This email address is listed on the Benefits of Alumnae Membership
handout.
Distribute the Where the DGs Are handout. Ask the seniors to identify the alumnae group near
their hometown. Ask the senior members to identify the alumnae group near where they will live
after graduation.
Furthermore, remind seniors to update their contact information with Executive Offices. You may
want to consider sending the Benefits of Alumnae Membership handout electronically after the
meeting so senior members can store in their files.
Closing Activity – 5 minutes (director of senior programming)
Remind senior members of the upcoming senior programming events.

Sample Calendar Ideas for Senior Programming
August/September
• Serve seniors dinner and distribute a list of potential senior programming ideas. From
this list, seniors can identify the ideas they would most like. At this meeting seniors, can
discuss their roles in Delta Gamma and their impact on the chapter. The director of senior
programming will use this as a planning tool for the Senior Pursuit.
• Focus the first formal chapter meeting on the seniors. Consider having a special candle
lighting where the senior members share their senior wish for their last school year.
• Ask juniors to plan an evening for seniors once a month. Ideas include coffee, dessert,
bowling, watching reality TV, etc.
• Ask 3-5 young alumnae to discuss “everything you need to know for job hunting that you
haven’t been told” with the seniors during chapter meeting. This could be an Anchors of
Discovery event.
• Invite alumnae to speak on specific topics chosen by seniors throughout the entire year.
September/October
• Organize a senior spotlight for one-to-three seniors at every chapter meeting. This can be
a poster made by their little sisters/friends in the chapter and hung in a special location.
• Host a dinner or dessert after chapter meeting. The event can be as simple as coke floats
with a decorated table for the desserts or even a fun icebreaker game. Consider inviting
seniors via a hand-made invitation.
• Host an open house prior to a football game serving appetizers. This would be especially
nice for the last football game of the senior year.
• Coordinate a senior breakfast.
• Ask a young Delta Gamma alumna to speak about transitioning from college to the
professional world for the juniors and seniors. This could be an Anchors of Discovery
event.
• Plan a special recognition of seniors at a parent event including a photo of all the seniors
and their parents. You may include a special note or memento for the parents.
November/December
• Ask seniors to lead discussions among small groups during chapter meeting. Seniors along
with CMT could determine topics. The purpose is to give value to the seniors experience
in college and Delta Gamma.
• Plan a dinner prior to formal for seniors and their dates. Individual seniors would cover the
dinner cost or, if possible, arrange a discount.
• Arrange with a fraternity to have dress for success event in which senior women host
senior men. Social etiquette related to job interviews, appropriate job interview dress,
and words of wisdom from invited speakers are appropriate agenda items. This event
could be an Anchors of Discovery event.
• Host a special recognition for December graduates. This might include a pass the gavel,
senior toast with sparkling ginger ale and a decorated cake. Seniors could also share their
postgraduate plans with the chapter.
Senior Pursuit | Facilitator’s Guide | Calendar Ideas
14
January/February/March
• Plan a senior roast with advisers/CMT.
• Organize senior wills ensuring appropriateness.
• Plan a program demonstrating how Delta Gamma can be used as a networking tool.
• Give seniors a special role during chapter meeting such as administrating the grip,
facilitating roll call, or reading the inspiration.
April/May/June
• Plan the Senior Recommitment ceremony found in the Rituals handbook with the local
alumnae group. (Note: please contact the local alumnae group early to plan this event.)
• Plan a fireside with the topic determined by the seniors during spring retreat.
• Organize a senior sleepover with movies and snacks.
• Organize a secret senior where chapter members are assigned a senior. The chapter
member sends the senior cards, leaves candy bars with notes, and eventually sends cards
with clues about who they are. After a certain amount of time, organize a revealing.
• Meet with juniors during the spring term to discuss their participation in fall recruitment
and the important role they play. This will help the seniors to understand the important
role they play during recruitment.
• Focus the last chapter meeting around seniors. Ask seniors to address postcards so that
the chapter can send the senior member notes after they graduate.

Benefits of Alumnae Membership
Delta Gamma membership does not end with college graduation. Rather, alumnae membership
provides members with opportunities to:
(1) further develop their abilities and skills,
(2) connect with other Delta Gammas who committed themselves to the same
high ideals, and
(3) give back to the Fraternity to ensure it endures and continues to be a relevant and
meaningful “club” for both collegians and alumnae members.
