Greek Awards and Assessment
Values & Mission I Leadership I Civic Engagement I Academics I Awards & Assessment I Risk Management & Accountability I Councils I Alumni I Parents The Indiana University Fraternity and Sorority Community began an initiative in 2004 focused on the integration of our core principles into the assessment program. This initiative was a response to a joint effort from college and university presidents and the national governing councils (NPHC, NIC, NPC, and NALFO) to advocate for an assessment process that would unify the goals and values of the all fraternities and sororities. These core values represent not only the learning goals of the chapters and each individual member but also of the university and its commitment of providing meaningful experiences outside the classroom. Assessment
In addition to these five assessment areas, chapters that participate in all five assessment areas will be eligible for an overall recognition of achievement.
Implementation The assessment will be implemented in two stages.
Feedback The Fraternity and Sorority Assessment program offers three feedback opportunities. The first feedback is provided during the conversation with judges. This immediate feedback should clarify to the participants the areas in which they are doing well and those that may need improvement. Rubric rankings from the meeting with the judges provide a second feedback opportunity. Finally, the notes and selected rubrics become the basis of ongoing conversations with support staff and advisors through the year. The participants should not view the assessment as a test or examination, but as a process through which the activities, mission, goals and objectives of the chapter are clarified, and any necessary improvements implemented. This feedback is important as it addresses the purpose of the assessment exercise, i.e. to assist chapters to improve their goals and integrate core values. Past Award Winners: |
