ADPi has a "Positive Points" system-- sisters are rewarded for campus/sorority participation and the points are tabulated each semester. You need to maintain your points in order to be eligible for chapter awards and social activities.

This is not a national policy for ADPi, just your chapter. However, my chapter of ADPi also uses a points system but it is just to assign housing. Activities such as social functions, attending frat philanthropies or invites, obtaining a frat rush shirt, wearing your letters on letter day, being a member of a Greek honor society, number of study hours your record, current GPA, number of years in the house, holding an office or being on a committee, visiting our philanthropy, or doing anything more than basically showing up to meetings and paying your dues earns you housing points. Then, when rooms are delegated each semester, people decide who they want to live with. Whatever group has the most points gets to decide where they want to live first. Then it goes down the list. It works pretty well, but since apps to apply for campus housing are due before we delegate rooms, it is kind of a risk if you aren't absolutely sure that you have a ton of points. It keeps people fairly motivated. It isn't enough to make someone do something if they don't want to, but if they are unsure whether they want to do an event or something, the housing point incentive usually helps them decide.
