Delta Zeta’s Best Kept Officer Secret

We get lots of questions in our email boxes here at Headquarters at the beginning of each semester from chapter officers on how to use Chapter Inc. Of all of the officer tools which Delta Zeta offers members, Chapter Inc. is by far the one that is the least understood. Many times it is a harried Vice President of Membership who has just finished recruitment and needed to have entered her new members yesterday into Chapter Inc. Or, it’s a chapter advisor who has to update the chapter’s campus total and doesn’t know where to send it.

Chapter Inc. is the business tool for Delta Zeta collegiate chapter officers and alumnae. Members have access to Chapter Inc. via the Dashboard on the Members page of the DeltaZeta.org website. The Dashboard will show collegiate chapters and volunteers quick information about their chapter’s statistics. To view full info, please use the link on the Dashboard to go to view Chapter Inc. Access is tied directly to your chapter’s officer roster. So, if an officer changes and an update is not made, that officer will not have access to Chapter Inc. You will only see your chapter’s information when you log into Chapter Inc. While a Regional Collegiate Director, who has multiple chapters in her region, will be able to view the Chapter Inc information for each chapter by selecting them from the drop down at the top of the page.


Chapter Inc. is activity-driven. Chapters enter their information as it happens – a shift in thinking about the way information is submitted.

The first page you see when you log on is your Task Center. Your chapter’s task center consists of the navigation bar, the announcement window, the chapter snapshot window, and the six module area snapshots. All officers can view this quick information on the different areas of Chapter Inc so you all know how many members you have, if money is owed, or if paperwork is due to National Headquarters.

Within each heading there are three types of drop downs – Snapshots, Actions (forms that a chapter has to complete = input), and Reports (give data back to you from the action forms chapters complete = output). Only those officers designated to fill out an action have access to that menu item. For example, the recruitment chair fills out the recruitment results form. CCDs, RCDs, and National Chairmen can see the chapter reports. For some actions, more than one officer can perform them, such as adding new members (the VP of Membership, the Treasurer, the VP of NMEd, the President and the Secretary can all add members).

Chapter Inc. is a powerful tool for our chapter officers and advisors – but it is only as good as the information put into it! Make sure your officers are visiting often, adding information, and reviewing what is on the site. We also have training guides found on the Members page, under Resources, Chapter Inc. Tools folder. If you have any questions about the site, please let the support team know at ChapterInc@dzshq.com.
