Chapter Excellence Award
The BGSU Greek Community annually recognizes outstanding chapters at the Spring Greek Awards program. All chapters are encouraged
to submit a Chapter Excellence Award packet for the awards program, as well as a guide to identify areas of strength or weakness.
Good chapters continually strive to improve their chapter operations.
A total of 69 points are possible if a chapter meets all the items, and has a house or hall. A total of 64 points are possible
if a chapter does not have a house or hall. The Chapter Excellence Awards are based on the following point totals for housed/non-housed
chapters:
- Chapter Excellence awarded to chapters achieving 62/58 points (90%)
- Gold Achievement awarded to chapters achieving 55/51 points (80%)
- Silver Achievement awarded to chapters achieving 48/45 points (70%)
- Bronze Achievement awarded to chapters achieving 41/38 points (60%)
Most Improved Chapter awarded to the chapter who has made a substantial improvement over the past year (to be awarded to chapters
who submitted a Chapter Excellence Award packet the previous year).

National Chapter Awards
Many BGSU chapters receive national awards on an annual basis. These awards are testament to the good work chapters at BGSU
do on the national level within their fraternity or sorority.
During the Fall semester, Greek Affairs runs a half-page ad listing those groups who received such awards during the summer
from their national headquarters.
