Outlining University Expectations
Accreditation Draft Completed
With the help of the accreditation implementation team, the Office of Student Life produced a draft of the new standards document for the fraternity and sorority community. The new accreditation program will be implemented in January 2009.
Goal 3, Objective A: An accreditation plan for fraternities and sororities will be developed and implemented that will replace the Greek Excellence Document to ensure a distinction between meeting organizational standards and being recognized for truly going above and beyond expectations.
A Socially Responsible Greek Community
The Greek community risk management policy was revised by students, alumni and university staff last spring. The new policy focuses on aligning campus policies with national organization risk management policies. In addition, it will assist Ball State Greeks with managing socially responsible events and addressing risk issues relevant to Greek organizations. The new policy will be implemented in spring 2009 along with a comprehensive risk and crisis management education program.
Goal 7, Objective A: All current risk and crisis management plans will be reviewed and updated.
Measuring the Greek Experience
Greek Experience Survey
During the spring of 2008, members of the fraternity and sorority community completed the Greek Experience Survey. The questionnaire is a national survey that featured over 60 questions. The results of the survey will be used to provide feedback to individual chapters and to measure the progress of the Greek community as a whole.
Goal 8, Objective B: The Greek Experience Survey (created by the Center for the Student of the College Fraternity) will be disseminated to each undergraduate member of the Greek community.
