I went to the University of Delaware and attending during the time of this 5-Star Plan and now it is called "CAP." I attended the school prior to the installation of the plan as well.
The Plan worked rather well from what I could see. It was not difficult to achieve points in the different categories. What is came down to was that you needed to be a Greek Chapter involved in the campus. We received points for going to football games, attending speakers, and participating in other sorority and fraternity events. For example, sororities received points for doing Sigma Chi Derby Days, Theta Chi Powderpuff, and Phi Tau's 5k For Bruce. Fraternities received points for participating in KD's Wiffleball, Alpha Phi's Volleyball, and Delta Gamma's Anchor Slam/Splash. If your sorrority or fraternity did well in terms of grades, then you succeeded in another area that you received points.
The Plan was not all about punishment. Fraternities and Sororities are placed on probation before being kicked off campus. When I was at Delaware, fraternities and sororities that were kicked off sometimes were only kicked off for a year or two. If the fraternitiy or sorority were placed on probation numerous times and were called on serious charges like hazing, then they were possibly kicked off indefinitely.
I do not know if I explained anything better or I just went on about nothing... But I have seen the plan first hand and at Delaware...
