  • Campus Involvement - the 75% outside organizational involvement does not include scholarships, but it does include performing in a play.Chapter Operations - previously stated chapter must be in good standing with inter/nationals organization, now says Stetson University

The Foundations of Excellence system was created in 2008 and serves to set the basic expectations for our Greek chapters and to help chapters strive for excellence.  Nationally, there is a movement to connect intangible aspects of Greek life to tangible learning outcomes and the Foundations of Excellence will help us to justify the relevance of Greek life on campus and its benefits. 

 

For fraternities and sororities to remain relevant at Stetson, we must guide the Greek experience in a way that enhances the individual's success at the University and ties in University strategic goals.  We also need to help demonstrate positive trends among Greeks, thus, collecting data from Foundations of Excellence submissions will help in making our case for relevance.  Finally, creating a new Foundations of Excellence system gives us an opportunity to tie in Greek student involvement and University/departmental learning outcomes, demonstrate the quality of Greek life on Stetson's campus, and make obvious the relevance of Greek life and the overall achievements of Stetson's undergraduate students.
