Chapter House SecurityMake sure that your chapter takes the necessary precautions to ensure the safety and maintenance of your chapter facility this Holiday season. Over the past year several chapters have vandalized and had priceless items stolen at times when the chapter facility is closed. 1) Remember to securely lock your chapter property prior to Thanksgiving break. 2) Someone should be responsible for ensuring that all doors and windows are properly closed and locked. 3) Your furnace should be on and set to at least 60 degrees to ensure that your pipes do not freeze. 4) You can save energy by unplugging appliances that you will not be utilized. 5) Drain all exterior hoses from exterior faucets. 6) Make sure you have an alumni or undergraduate member who is responsible for checking on the property at least once over break to make sure the chapter facility is secure and that no damages have been done. 6) Encourage your members to secure their valuables or take home over break.
These are just a few suggestions, and if you want additional information, click here! |

Public
Reporting of Fraternity and Sorority Chapter Grades Beginning Fall 2009
Semester - The First Public Report to be Published March 1, 2010
In order to better meet the
expressed needs of our Potential New Members (PNMs) and ther families, the
K-State Greek Affairs Office will begin publicly reporting and ranking
aggregate chapter grade information for the following chapter categories: New
Members, Initiated Members, All-Chapter Members. Individual
grade information will NOT be publicly reported. Any chapter reporting category consisting of
fewer than two members will not be publicly reported.
Chapter grade information is
K-State Greek Affair's most requested statistic from parents and PNMs. Previously, Greek Affairs has been unable to
respond to these detailed requests because fraternity grades were publicly
reported by quartile only and sorority grades were not publicly reported. Research of Big 12 institutions showed that
K-State was in the minority of institutions (Baylor, OK State, OU, CU, K-State)
that did not publicly report chapter grade information.
Designated chapter officials such
advisors, scholarship chairs, and presidents will continue to receive
individual member grade reports each semester.
Recipients of this information will continue to be used for internal,
chapter-specific purposes only.
