Woo hoo! Congrats! We only had one chapter in my area (Bellingham, WA) that got it (and they are the oldest women in our area)

Woohoo! Louisiana Eta Pi is also a three-star chapter!

(What do those stars mean?)

Chapters earn points for various activities, and these are recorded in the Chapter Yardstick. For example, a chapter earns points for enrolling a new pledge, for visiting with another chapter, for having a social or outing, etc.

At the end of the sorority year, the points are tallied, and stars are awarded. Three stars is the top rating for points earned; however, a chapter that sponsors a new chapter (Friendly Venture) receives a special Four Star rating.

The star ratings are listed in the September Torch each year.

IMPORTANT: Not all chapters participate in the Chapter Yarkstick, so a chapter that is listed with no stars might still be a fantastic chapter!
