WSU Greek Pillars of Excellence Accreditation Program
WSU Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life
Mission Statement
The Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life (CFSL) engages in creating a dynamic environment that
enhances the intellectual, creative, and practical abilities of all members. The CFSL is dedicated to
fostering quality undergraduate fraternity and sorority experiences that build community among all
Chapters and Washington State University through emphasizing founding fraternal principles of
Scholarship, Service, Leadership and Lifelong Relationships.
The Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life Core Values
• Values Integration |The CFSL fosters the identification and application of values, making
students more effective and productive men and women.
• Citizenship and Diversity |The CFSL encourages and enhances civic engagement, cultural
competency and a commitment to diversity.
• Intellectual Development |The CFSL facilitates the acquisition of knowledge through applicable
experiential learning.
• Positive Relationships |Collaboration, involvement and participation are integrated into
environments supporting teamwork and interpersonal development.
• Leadership Development |Students gain the understanding and ability to maximize their
leadership potential and encourage positive engagement among their peers.
Why Accreditation Matters
The Washington State University believes that the fraternity and sorority experience can and should be
an educationally enriching and socially meaningful one that contributes to the overall sense of
community on campus. While many fraternities and sororities at WSU provide this experience to their
members, it is essential to develop benchmarks and expectations to ensure that all members have the
opportunity to enhance their collegiate experience through fraternal membership. This will help us
achieve our vision that “fraternities and sororities will be the most trusted educational organizations on
the campus in the development of men’s and women’s values, leadership, relationship and citizenship”.
To this end, the Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life has designed the Greek Pillars of Excellence
Accreditation program to improve the management and quality of fraternity and sorority chapters at the
Washington State University. This program will allow chapters to complete a self-evaluation of the
previous year and show the chapter where growth is needed. The accreditation program will allow the
University to recognize those organizations that achieve excellence. The six areas of accreditation
criteria within this program are intended to help chapters understand basic expectations and identify
areas of strength and weakness. The program is designed to assess chapters’ success in these six areas
and provide both recognition and accountability.

WSU GREEK PILLARS OF EXCELLENCE FAQS
GENERAL
What are the Greek Pillars of Excellence?
The Greek Pillars of Excellence is an accreditation program similar to your inter/national accreditation
program. Each of the six categories represents a specific value of the Greek community here at WSU.
All of the individual areas under each category are items that you may already perform. Each individual
chapter will submit the Greek Pillars of Excellence packet answering the specific questions and submit
the required supplemental material. The Greek Pillars of Excellence are a self-evaluation.
Why did the CFSL move from the annual report to the Greek Pillars of Excellence?
The CFSL moved from the annual report to the Greek Pillars of Excellence to ensure that each
organization receives the proper credit for all of the great accomplishments their chapter does on an
annual basis. The annual report did not provide the CFSL and your chapter with individualized
opportunities to showcase your organizations’ successes and was duplicative to the Arête Awards. The
Greek Pillar of Excellence also identifies areas where the CFSL can help organizations improve overall
chapter functionality in specific areas. All chapters are now eligible for chapter awards at the Arête
Awards ceremony.
Are we required to participate in all listed activities or have every requirement as included in the
Greek Pillars of Excellence?
No. Each of the criteria as set forth in the Greek Pillars of Excellence will be optional. Most of the
activities and requirements are the minimum that most organizations already require. Your chapter
already performs these tasks on a daily basis. These criteria are values congruent with each of our
organizations. Some organizations will attempt to do everything while others may be content with their
normal chapter operations. The Greek Pillars of Excellence criteria were determined by CFSL staff and
peer institutions on what we believe a stellar fraternity or sorority would operate as. You can choose
what you want to do. If you choose to do one particular item, you get the points for that particular
criterion. The entire purpose of the Greek Pillars of Excellence is to provide each fraternity and sorority
a venue to showcase their organizations’ successes.
When do the Greek Pillars of Excellence take place?
The Greek Pillars of Excellence started on October 16, 2015 and will end on October 15, 2016. There
will be specific categories were data from the previous fall semester will be utilized (e.g. Fall chapter
GPA, Fall community service hours, etc.). You will no longer have to submit an annual report in May
and the Arête Awards packet in October. They are combined into one.
How many points are possible?
There are a total of 1500 points possible for each chapter to amass. It is up to each individual chapter on
how many points you earn. If there are particular categories that your organization is inhibited from
doing, your organizations total will be reduced. There will no penalty for this. We will take your
individual organizations specific policies and procedures into account. Each organization can also get
up to 100 additional bonus points. These bonus points will aid in the overall total points and the
percentage needed to reach a chapter status.

JUDGING
Will my organization be ranked against peers?
Each individual organization will be assigned one of the four categories as detailed in the Greek Pillars
of Excellence packet. Chapters who receive one of the top three categories will receive an award for
their exemplary work. The Greek Pillars of Excellence are a self-evaluation. Your organization will not
be compared to another organization. You will be provided the opportunity to showcase your
organization’s successes, which will be the only criteria the judges will look at.
Will my organization be judged on criteria that my national organization prohibits?
Each individual chapter will be judged on their own individual merit. As such, there is opportunity to
take into account a specific organization’s overall policies and procedures. You will not be penalized
for the unique organization that you are.
For example, your national organization prohibits you from having two recruitment classes per year.
The total possible points you could receive for new member GPA is 20 points per semester. The
maximum amount of points for the entire Greek Pillars of Excellence you would be eligible to receive
would then be reduced by 20 points.
ORIGINAL TOTAL MAXIMUM POINTS: 1500
MINUS NEW MEMBER GPA INELIGIBLE FOR: 20
TOTAL POSSIBLE NEW MAXIMUM POINTS: 1480
Each organization will have varying levels of maximum points based on what their organization can
specifically do. This is not to say that only what your organization does will be the maximum amount of
points you receive. If the CFSL is aware of some inter/national/local policy specifically prohibiting an
item, it will be taken into account. If you choose not to participate in Greek Week (for example), you
are choosing to not receive those points, but those points still count towards the maximum. Your
designation will be dependent on the percentage of possible TOTAL points available to your
organization.
What if my organization receives the “in need of improvement” designation?
Chapters in Need of Improvement must meet with CFSL staff on a monthly basis for the following
calendar year for additional goal setting and progress reports. It is the desire of the university that all
organizations will be successful and remains an active part of our university life. The CFSL will
continue to work with that organization’s representation to assist in any way possible. This should be
viewed as a positive. This is not a penalty.
Can I use duplicate answers?
Yes! It is important to “work smarter, not harder”. As such, if you notice that what you do in one
category would apply to another, please use that as your answer!
SUBMISSION
How do I submit the Greek Pillars of Excellence? What additional materials are required to be
submitted?
Each chapter will submit a Greek Pillars of Excellence binder by the specified date. Each chapter will
review their Greek Pillars of Excellence submission with their individual CFSL advisor to ensure that
their questions and concerns are addressed. Refer to the document entitled “Greek Pillars of Excellence
Data Collection” on what additional materials are required to be submitted for each area.

What are the due dates?
There are two due dates for 2016: April 15 and October 15. The items due on April 15, 2016 are
designated with a “Due 4/15/16” comment. Those without that comment are due on October 15, 2016.
If I submit something in April, can I resubmit it in October if something changed?
Yes! The point of the Greek Pillars of Excellence application is to showcase the amazing things you and
your organization due throughout the year. If something changes over the course of the year and you
had already submitted in April, please feel free to resubmit it in October.
