Greek Standards of Excellence Stephen F. Austin State University Spring 2018

Greek Standards of Excellence Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU)

Greek organizations provide a unique balance of opportunities in leadership, service and philanthropy, academics, and social activities. The Standards of Excellence program was designed to encourage such opportunities for the overall improvement of individual chapters, and to advance the Greek community at SFA. We believe that in order for these standards to have an impact, chapters must value the timeliness and quality of completion for each task.

Each year, each organization will be evaluated and recognized based upon points received per task. Based upon points received, Greek organizations will better be able to recognize areas in which they are excelling and areas in which they can continue to improve. There are 575 points possible broken down into 5 categories of standards: Academic, Chapter Management, Leadership and Development, Membership and Recruitment, and Service and Philanthropy.

Your chapter will be recognized in one of these four categories based upon points received:

Good Standing: 575-460 (100-80% of points possible)  Listed as Good Standing on Greek Life Website and information sent to National/Regional Headquarters Needs Improvement: 459-345 (79-60% of points possible)  Listed as Needs Improvement on Greek Life Website and information sent to National/Regional Headquarters  Required to meet with council advisor once a month to plan and implement status improvements.  Required to submit detailed plan of improvement to achieve Good Standing status Probation: 344 points or below (less than 59% of points possible)  Listed as Probation on Greek Life Website and information sent to National/Regional Headquarters  Required to meet with council advisor once a month to plan and implement status improvements.  Chapter not able to participate in intramural Greek League.

This packet outlines, in detail, the requirements and expectations for the Greek Standards of Excellence program. It was created for the use of chapters to manage the completion of required tasks. This packet is subject to change by the Office of Student Engagement. It is highly recommended that the responsibilities outlined in the packet should be delegated among chapter leadership.

Point System Based upon points received, Greek organizations will be able to better recognize areas in which they are excelling and areas in which they can improve.

Each task required for the Greek Standards of Excellence is associated with a specific point value. Points will be rewarded for the completion of a given task based upon the timeliness and quality of completion. In order to receive full points for any given task, it must be completed by its due date and in the requested format. Point values awarded for tasks are always subject to the judgment of staff in Greek Life. Points may be deducted for incompletion, untimeliness, or incorrect format. If deadlines are missed, chapters are still encouraged to complete each task.
