"The Chapter Development Program will change the course of Pi Kappa Alpha," proclaimed President Ross Anderson. Others who have previewed the unique program, which systematically diagnoses chapter strengths and weaknesses, vigorously shared Anderson 's optimism. Modestly labeled Chapter Development Program (CDP), the plan is the first of its kind introduced to the fraternity world. Through the CDP valuable data about each chapter may be obtained which could promote dramatic local and national improvement. Supreme Council and staff enthusiasm was diversified at the recent preview. The literal conception of such a program almost overshadowed what it meant for n KA. Some 20 months and seven Council meetings ago, when development began on a comprehensive leadership training program, few envisioned the scope it has today. " Pi l):appa Alpha has always been amongst a select few innovators," said Executive Director Pat Halloran of the creation of the CDP. "The Chapter Development Program stands a,lone in the entire fraternity world."
