The College of New Jersey Fraternity & Sorority Values Based Achievement Program After benchmarking the TCNJ Values Based Achievement Program in Fall 2008, Spring 2009 will serve as the first semester using this new metric. PHILOSOPHY With a diversified community of 30+ fraternal organizations and memberships totaling more than 950 students, we recognize that Fraternity & Sorority Involvement continues to engage students in a values-based education of real life situations and experiences. We acknowledge that although diverse in name, history, creed, or motto, there is a commonality in purpose, ideals, and values among all our chapters and members. Presupposing that a prescribed manner of operation or mandatory standards would best enable a diverse group of organizations to excel as a fraternal community seems to contradict the diverse and unique nature of these organizations, we actively reject the concept of a cookie cutter "one-size-fits-all" program. Additionally, we reject the concept that smaller organizations are lesser contributors than our larger organizations. As such, we recognize achievement at various levels of participation and effort. The concept of the program as a whole is simple: choice. Each chapter, their leaders, their advisors and/or advisory boards, graduate chapters, regional advisors, etc. is left with the choice to examine and execute the programs, events, activities, and methods that they find to be in greatest alignment with their own missions and organizational needs. In this manner, we encourage open discussions at chapter and alumni meetings, goal setting retreats, transition programming, or casual gatherings of the best interests of their organization and their members. We postulate that these conversations are truly a method that enables chapter-wide ownership of chapter achievement and general business. As chapter and community needs will always change and evolve, so too shall this program. Submitted on a semesterly basis, the Fraternity & Sorority Values Based Achievement Program is reviewed by the IGC semi-annually. All suggestions and recommendations are made to the Assistant Director Fraternity & Sorority Programs for implementation. All suggestions and recommendations are full vetted and discussed before acceptance or dismissal.
