Chapter Efficiency Index
Effective July 2002
The Chapter Efficiency Index, a web-based program, is the method of formal communication between collegiate chapters and the National Fraternity. The index awards points in eleven sections representing basic operational requirements for collegiate chapters during a fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). The sections identify specific requirements in recruitment, membership, finances, professional and service programs, and leadership development. These sections reflect the practice of essential business principles and operations expected of each chapter as part of our professional business Fraternity, as well as the professional and leadership development opportunities for each member.
Points in each section are awarded at a value per six month period or in some cases, annually. The annual goal and expectation of all collegiate chapters is 100 points for the fiscal year. Obtaining 100 points will demonstrate that the chapter met all fundamental business requirements for successful operations by the due dates, and conducted a sufficient number of member development programs reported by the required due dates.
If a chapter does not achieve 100 points, especially in two or more consecutive years, its members may receive special assistance as described in the National Fraternity Policies. If a chapter receives a low annual total, the chapter may be subject to disciplinary action as described in Fraternity Policies and Bylaws or a combined action of discipline and special assistance.
