Delaware Plan

[TSteven]

Just did a quick search and found this at the University of Delaware site.

Five Star Chapter Evaluation Program

Still curious if other colleges have implemented this and what, if any, are y'all's reactions to the program.

Edited to add this outline from the UD site.

An Outline of the Program

The following areas will receive an evaluation each year:
~Academics
~Financial Management
~University / Community Relations and Service
~Campus Involvement
~Membership Intake and/or Pledge Program

Total Points Possible:
500 points

Scoring Criteria:
90% of points possible = Five Star status
77% of points possible = Four Star status
64% of points possible = Three Star status
51% of points possible = Two Star status
37% of points possible = One Star status

The intent of the Five Star Chapter evaluation is to provide a framework by which chapters can quantify and documents their activities and successes, while creating a tool by which fraternities and sororities can be evaluated. There is an expectation that all chapters will strive to attain a Five Star rating and that the Greek system at the University of Delaware will be an example of excellence to Greek systems nationwide.

Recognizing that dramatic change cannot happen overnight, this program will, at the outset, demonstrate to chapters their current standing within the Greek system. This information should be used as baseline data and will provide a starting point form which improvements will be made.

Chapters will not be able to maintain status quo. Continued improvement, where needed, will be expected. At the end of spring semester, 2000, One-Star chapters will not be allowed to have any social activities or membership intake until they reach Two-Star status. Chapters at Two-Star and Three-Star status will not be allowed to have any social activities until they reach Four-Star status. A One-Star chapter can only remain in that status for one year before the University of Delaware removes recognition from the organization.
