Accreditation, reporting process, assessment, etc..

[kduke]

So every sorority/fraternity has some kind of reporting process for chapters that gets sent back to Nationals. I am a member of tridelts and we have a specific process that we have to keep track of and submit on paper back to Nationals at the end of the semester. We have to be involved in x amount of activities, get x amount of new girls, retain x amount, etc..
What processes do other organizations use and are there specific names for them? I know that Sigma Kappa has one called "Standard of Excellence"
Furthermore, are these programs even that rewarding or helpful and who do they benefit?

I was new member ed and dreaded filling out these reports because they were so tedious.. any suggestions on what to do or what the point is?!
