Enriching Who? Enriching U!

Delta Zeta’s newest members should be the most familiar with Enriching U, the online education site where part of the New Member Program lives. But, Enriching U, which we lovingly call “Delta Zeta University”, is now being used for many more training opportunities for Delta Zeta members.

Enriching U is the place for personal, leadership and membership development for Delta Zeta members. Our members take part in sessions tailored to their Delta Zeta experience to enhance their knowledge of both the sorority and themselves. Enriching U lives on Delta Zeta’s website on the Members page. All active collegiate and alumnae members can now experience Enriching U with the JobBound program.

Some features of Enriching U:

Tailored Learning Styles: Adults of different ages learn in different ways. What sounds/voice over sections/music/ graphics/animations (and video) we use vary depending on the type of session you are taking. Sessions are organized into modules. Each module takes a very short time to complete.

Flexible Enriching U Courses: Enriching U offers us no limits! College Chapter Director training, new member programming, Delta Zeta Volunteer Leader Training – you name it we can do it – because Enriching U has the technological flexibilities to allow us to do so. What courses would you like to see developed?

Personally Driven Timing: Enriching U is amazingly easy because you can do all the modules at one sitting or if you want to do one or two and then sign off and log in again, it’s all up to you to decide. The site bookmarks your spot to come back and pick up later where you left off.

Session completion: Some Enriching U sessions need to be finished before moving on to others. Completion methods in Enriching U vary, some sessions have quizzes, others ask you to complete a short survey at the end.

After you complete a session, you can come back at any time and access the information on the site.

Enriching U uses many different types of learning styles, you might find that the journal questions during the new member program just the thing you needed to make sense of the material you just went over with your new member educator during your weekly meeting. Or, your chapter advisor may feel that the review quizzes in the volunteer training sessions help her identify areas that she needs more education on. Maybe you need a little help goal setting- with Enriching U you can use the built in goal setting tools to help track your personal progress.

The site is tied to all of our other Delta Zeta communications and database tools. We can also track individual member’s progress through the different educational experiences and provide a sort of Delta Zeta transcript of a member’s education in the sorority. You can also connect with others in the Enriching U community by sharing an idea, or asking a question. The possibilities are endless with Enriching U.

Enriching U is a site that brings Delta Zeta to life. It equips members via online training, supplies leadership resources, enable collaboration, and provides inspiration toward you goals and our promise of a life enriching membership experience in Delta Zeta.
