Greek Standards

Each Inter-Greek Council fraternity & sorority completes a semester evaluation called the Greek Standards. 

Greek Awards are based on the 2012 Spring & Fall Greek Standard Evaluations that each chapter completes. The  82nd Annual Greek Awards Ceremony will occur on January 29, 2013.  At the ceremony chapters are recognized for their achievement in several different categories, such as Academics, Chapter Operations, Service & Philanthropy, and Recruitment & Development of members.  

Each fraternity & sorority is awarded in 4 different categories based on their Greek Standard Evaluation:

• Gold (achieved 90%+ on Evaluation)
• Silver (achieved 80-89% on Evaluation)
• Bronze (achieved 70-79% on Evaluation)
• Bad Standing (score below 69%)
