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.

We also give out Scholarship pearls. We do it very similar to Iota Gamma. (maybe its a cali thing
) Anyway...
We give ours to seniors who have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. They are presented either at Sapphire Ball or at Alum Installation.
The only difference between Theta Mu and Iota Gamma is you are only awarded once when you are a senior; and for all the 5th years in my chapter (like me!) the pearl will be given your graduating year... so since this is my 4th year I wouldn't get the pearl until next year when its time for me to graduate.
I think they are a great tradition to start. We have done ours for about 3 or 4 years now (we are only 9 years old) but a few alum sisters than would have been able to receive one back when they were active prior to 4 years ago have bought themselves one. (which I think is fair)
