Join a family filled with traditions: you’ll do that here.

The fraternity and sorority community at Southeast Missouri State University has had a long and rich history. We honor that history and their accomplishments with an array of awards. 

The Five Star Chapter Program provides organizations the opportunity to be recognized with “star standing” in five key areas of chapter operations: 

  1. Academic Success 
  2. Chapter Management  
  3. Membership Development and Education 
  4. Civic and Community Engagement 
  5. Harm Reduction/Risk Management

Use of Five Star Chapter Program 

The Five Star Chapter Program focuses on chapters' actions and the structure they have in place to support their organization. Chapters are required to submit data for the Program or formally notify the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life that they do not intend to participate.  

Star standing in each area is based upon a set of pertinent criteria. The star standings will be determined by the following point value:  

  • Five Star Chapters - Chapters attaining 90% or more of possible points 
  • Four Star Chapters – Chapters attaining 75% - 89% of possible points 
  • Three Star Chapters – Chapters attaining 60% - 74% of possible points 
  • Two Star Chapters – Chapters attaining 41% - 59% of possible points 
  • One Star Chapters – Chapters attaining 26% – 40% of possible points 
  • Chapter Non-Conforming - Chapters scoring less than 25% of the eligible points or failing to submit any information for the Five Star Chapter Program  

Fraternal Excellence Award 

The Fraternal Excellence Award recognizes chapters that excel across all categories of the Five Star Awards program. Individual chapters that receive more points across all categories, when compared to the average points earned for all chapters, are recognized as a Fraternal Excellence award chapter. The Fraternal Excellence Award represents the very best in overall chapter operations and serves as a role model chapter at Southeast. The award is presented each spring as part of the All Chapter meeting.   

Evaluation 

The submitted materials are reviewed by a panel of faculty and professional staff at Southeast Missouri State University or invited professionals with experience in Fraternity and Sorority Life and/or who work with student organizations at a college or university. Each submission is reviewed by three panelists, and the average of the three scores will be the score for each item/section. Reviewers are asked to provide written feedback with their scores. Any dispute between panelists will be resolved by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life
