November Is More Than a Month — It’s a Movement
Every November, DECA chapters across the world celebrate what it means to be part of this incredible organization. DECA Month isn’t just about spirit days and social posts — it’s about showcasing your leadership, community and creativity. Whether you’re brand new or a longtime member, this is your moment to shine.
Here’s how to get involved, make an impact and truly demonstrate what it means to be DECA.
1. Celebrate Your Chapter Pride
Start the month with energy and excitement.
- Decorate your campus with DECA blue
- Post your chapter photos or “Why I Joined DECA” stories
- Wear DECA shirts and blazers with pride
Idea: Host a “DECA Spirit Week” where each day has a theme — from Throwback Thursday to Future Friday.
2. Give Back to Your Community
DECA Month is the ideal opportunity to showcase how members lead with purpose.
- Organize a community service project or fundraiser
- Volunteer with a local organization or school event
- Partner with other student groups to amplify your impact
Remember: Service shows leadership in action.
3. Engage on Social Media
Let the world see your chapter’s story!
- Share highlights using #DECAMonth and tag @collegiatedeca
- Spotlight members, advisors and alumni who inspire you
- Post short videos or reels showing chapter meetings or projects
Tip: Keep your posts consistent and polished using DECA colors and logos. (The DECA Brand Resource Center has everything you need to stay on-brand.)
4. Showcase Your Leadership
DECA Month isn’t just about celebration — it’s about growth.
- Host a mini workshop or speaker series on leadership or entrepreneurship
- Encourage members to work toward Leadership Passport goals
- Share your chapter’s success stories with your campus or local media
Pro Move: Invite campus administrators or community partners to your events — it builds visibility and support.
5. Plan for What’s Next
Use the momentum of DECA Month to set goals for the rest of the year.
- Recruit new members through fun activities or open meetings
- Start brainstorming for the competition season
- Reflect on what makes your chapter special — and how you can grow even more
The energy you build now will carry you into spring conferences and beyond.
Why It Matters
DECA Month is your chance to show the world that you don’t just talk about leadership — you live it. Every post, project and event is part of a bigger story: your chapter’s impact. So rally your members, share your pride and celebrate the organization that helps you prepare for your future.
Be bold. Be spirited. Be DECA.
