Best Chapter Nationwide

[zetagirly]

I know this will be a HARD question to answer. But I am curious which chapter/school your national organization considers the very best in the entire nation. Thank you.

well, I don't have a clue which chapter it is, but probably a chapter that constantly does well in recruitment, has good retention, pays dues on time, turns paperwork in on time, has good scholarship and high gpa, makes Jewel Chapter, and has strong sisterhood.

I agree with Leslie. Every Convention, IHQ gives a Collegiate Acheievement award to the chapter that excels many different categories, but I don't think this constitutes the "best" in our organization, as many other chapters do just as well as the chapter that racks up the most points.

For those unfamiliar with Jewel Chapter, the name indicates a collegiate or alumnae chapter/club that donates at least $2000 to the Foundation. IHQ also recognizes collegiate chapters that are 5 star. To be a 5 star chapter, the chapter must excel in the following:

• Leadership
• Membership
• Philanthropy
• Scholarship
• Sisterhood

At Convention, there are many different categories recognized--from Making Quota/Total to Chapter Reporting to Overall Improvement--there's so many! The top chapters in the different areas are organized by chapter size and placed in the honor roll and then the overall category winner.

I hope this helps.
