Fraternal Excellence Program


Fraternal Excellence Program

The Fraternal Excellence Program serves to assess each fraternity and sorority chapter on the basic requirements of operations. The goal of Fraternal Excellence is to celebrate chapter success and achievement by highlighting accomplishments over the academic year. Fraternities and sororities are recognized for excellence in the following five categories: Academic Excellence, Ethical Leadership, Membership Development, Council and Community Engagement, and Service and Philanthropy.

Based on the average of all five section scores in part one, chapters were given a star rating ranging from 5 stars, excellence, to 1 star, not meeting minimum standards. For part two chapters had the opportunity to nominate their own chapter or others to be recognized for excellence or innovation in specified areas.
