HI Sara,

Our chapter does give Scholarship Pearls. This past year we gave them out at Sapphire Ball along with Certificates we made up. Any sisters who had already been awarded the scholarship pearl were presented with certificates at the Ball as well. You buy the pearls from CO who orders them from our jewelers

The chapter set the GPA requirement as the average GPA goes up in the chapter we will revise the requirement higher.

Here is what our Chapter Constitution says about it

SECTION 5 The scholarship pearl shall be awarded in honor of academic achievement as an incentive to aim for high standards. To receive this award one must be a junior or higher in good standing with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. The pearl shall be purchased by the sorority and shall be presented as part of the celebration ritual. Although the pearl may only be awarded once, members shall still be recognized by the ceremony each time they meet the eligibility requirements.
