Greetings

Greetings from the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life

Thank you for your interest in learning about fraternity and sorority life at UAlbany. Our organizations provide their members and students an opportunity to engage in service initia-tives, attend thought-provoking discussions and performances. Overall, our community has donated their time to development, improvement, and education.

This academic year the All Greek Council has introduced the party smart initiative, assisted in developing our sub-governing councils, modified their interview procedures for their junior executive board and strengthen their partnerships with multiple stakeholders. This report is designed to celebrate the core values of our community, recognize our hardwork-ing student leaders, and share their organization story (ies). Sincerely, Arleny Alvarez-Peña, Assistant Director

The Iota Nu chapter have modified their chapter scholarship application to allow non-members to apply. The

UAlbany student must meet the academic requirements of Gamma Sigma Alpha and define how they have lived

the values of academic engagement and congruence. The application will be available starting January on

myinvolvement.org.

Gamma Sigma Alpha is a National Greek Academic Honor Society committed to

recognizing Greek students for their excellent performance in school. The Society

strives to uphold the high ideals of scholastic achievement and therefore, only

students with either a cumulative grade point average of a 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, or

received a 3.5 or higher in any semester during their junior or senior year.

Each semester an organization can earn up to 300 points and the opportunity to receive an additional 32 points based

on a successful new member education program.

Exceptional: The chapter has exceeded the minimum expectations required of each social or cultural fraternity,

sorority, and social fellowship and earned a score of 90% or better.

Good: The chapter has satisfactor ily achieved or maintained all standards required of each social or cultural

fraternity, sorority, and social fellowship and earned a score of 70% or better.

Fair: The chapter has failed to meet the minimum standards required of each social or cultural fraternity, so-

rority, and social fellowship; however, the deficiency can be corrected the following semester. Chapters that are desig-

nated with this standing earned a score between 50% and 69%. The chapter will outline the expectations they must

meet to fulfill the deficiency (ies) that resulted in the Fair standing in a detailed Action Plan. Those chapters designated

as Chapters in Fair Standing for an entire year will be referred to their Sub-Governing Council for sanctioning and giv-

en 2 Greek violation points.

Poor: The chapter has failed to meet the minimum standards required of each social or cultural fraternity, so-

rority, and social fellowship. Chapters that are designated with this standing earned a score between 25% and 49%. A

Chapter in Poor Standing will be referred to their Sub-Governing Council for sanctions. Those chapters designated as

Chapters in Poor Standing for an entire year will be administratively reviewed and given 4 Greek violation points.
