START A CHAPTER AT YOUR COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY
Here are a few steps to take when you are looking to start a chapter at your college or university.
Reach out to your college's student organization center and learn about their processes for establishing a new organization on campus.
Find an advisor. Their role is to provide support, serve as the liaison to the rest of the college, mentor members, and travel to conferences with students.
Establish your chapter with Collegiate DECA at: decaregistration.com/collegiate/NewChapter.aspx
Recruit members on campus. Focus on your friends, classmates, faculty announcements, and former DECA members.
Collect and submit dues to Collegiate DECA.
Get organized – elect officers, plan activities, connect with your state officers for ideas.
Conduct fundraisers to help support member attendance at conferences.
Promote your chapter on campus. Visit the college President or Dean, and work with the college's public relations department to celebrate your results and success!
