  • Kappa Alpha Psi
    2020-2021 Year End Evaluation Feedback Report Given the impact the COVID pandemic has had on our community and chapter operations, OFSA has elected to alter Accreditation for 2020-2021. For the 2020-2021 academic year, chapters will be assessed through a modified Year End Evaluation Report process. Chapter: Kappa Alpha Psi Assistant Director: Olivia Miller Rating Scale For the 2020-2021 academic year, chapters will not be assessed based on Accredited with Excellence, Accredited, Unaccredited or Unacceptable. Instead, each area will be assessed by a panel of students, faculty, staff and advisors. The combined average will produce a numerical average value signifying Exceptional, Above Average, and Average. This evaluation is not only based on performance, but also on effort made to prioritize these essential areas during a pandemic in lieu of more traditional fraternity and sorority efforts and operations. Exceptional [3] - extraordinary demonstration of chapter operations and membership engagement in the area of evaluation *remarkable commitment to chapter and community purpose, mission and values Above Average [2] - commendable demonstration of chapter operations and membership engagement in the area of evaluation *outstanding commitment to chapter and community purpose, mission and values Average [1] - standard demonstration of chapter operations and membership engagement in the area of evaluation *acceptable commitment to chapter and community purpose, mission and values 2020-2021 Year End Evaluation Report Areas 1. Prioritization of membership engagement & accountability 2. Dedication to educational initiatives & chapter priorities 3. Commitment to diversity, inclusion & equity 4. Ability to adapt and implement creative and innovative methods 5. Emphasis on new member education and the onboarding of Spring 2020, Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 new members 2020-2021 Year End Evaluation Report Chapters are encouraged to upload any supplemental materials to their Year End Evaluation Report folders.

Heenehan • 115 The Space They Take: Evaluating Historically White Fraternities through Critical Race Theory Fonda Marguerite Heenehan Fraternities and sororities are not often thought of as the starting points for social justice education, especially not historically White fraternities and sororities. In this paper, I outline the missions and values of a select group of historically White fraternities to better understand the foundation from which they are starting their organization. I give an overview of Critical Race Theory (CRT) that gives context for how critical race theory can work in higher education. I conclude with recommendations for reworking his- torically White fraternities with a CRT lens; recommendations are written for national organizations and students, and then for professional staff working with fraternities and sororities, especially historically White fraternities.
