Chapter Success Framework
Northwestern University's Fraternity & Sorority Life (FSL) believes that every chapter has the power to elevate both its own organization and the broader Northwestern community. The Chapter Success Framework: Foundational Expectations for Operation empowers chapters to chart their own course toward success while meeting essential standards of compliance and efficiency. Recognizing that each chapter is unique, this program encourages chapters to assess their needs, plan strategically, and execute goals tailored to their individual vision. Through this approach, chapters can foster sustainable, positive change that aligns with the overarching vision, mission, and core values of the Fraternity & Sorority Life community.
- Chapter leadership must ensure that these expectations are communicated to all members. At least 80% of chapter members must attend a meeting where the Standards of Excellence are reviewed.
