Accreditation, reporting process, assessment, etc..

I feel like many nationals do not hold their chapters accountable, look at what happened at KY this weekend. This could have been prevented if the house had any kind of oversight from Nationals or even the university. Furthermore, are Nationals even holding us accountable for the right things?
My poll is in relation to the things we are being held accountable for. If we are being held accountable then chances are we acquired life skills of some kind. Kind of a loose connection, mainly I was just curious for my own personal interest.

A very loose connection. A national organization holding a chapter accountable for certain things does not correlate to individual members gaining life skills.

Meanwhile, I don't know that you did yourself or your sisters any favors by identifying your chapter and raising this in a public forum. Sounds like something that should be an internal conversation to me.

I'm starting to question that "identifying" post, as most members of DDD on here would never refer to it as "tridelts". Also, I know that my sorority's reports are now submitted electronically. Tri Delta has been on the cutting edge as far as use of the Web is concerned and I highly doubt that they still have to file their reports on paper. (Hopefully some of the nice Tri Deltas on here will let us know if that's the case.)

I think this is someone with an ax to grind about an entirely different matter.

I did think about that, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was a typo, since a and s are next to each other on the keyboard.

Good point.

I meant more the lowercase and all one word. How often do you refer to your fraternity as "pma"? Especially when Sigma Kappa is capitalized later in the post.

Nope, not buying it at all.

Never. Nor do I ever refer to it as "PMA." If it's not the full name or "Phi Mu Alpha," it's "Sinfonia."

But yeah, I get your skepticism.

I had no issue to begin with, I was just trying to figure out what other chapters were doing in regards to accreditation. I have no beef with my sorority, I just was frustrated with submitting my reports on paper when we can save money and paper by putting it online. And I put yes to my poll because my sorority has given me life skills that I am proud of. I guess I should of rephrased my first post, I honestly was just trying to get some opinions and feedback on what other houses were doing, I wasn't trying to become a martyr for my sorority.
