The CDAA is a 250+ member organization of Chi Delta chapter Alumni. All alumni of the Chi Delta chapter are considered members of the CDAA.
The organization is governed by a small, four officer executive committee. These officers are elected annually by the organization membership in a live election held at Duke University’s homecoming. All officers are elected to a two-year term, unless otherwise specified. Other organizational roles include Alumni Advisor and Officers-at-Large, these may include committee chairs, potential future officers, or brothers interested in a specific project.
