About SUGAP:
The Greek Steering Committee is an open forum designed to
provide direction and guidance to the Salisbury University
Fraternity and Sorority Community. Through dialogue, assessment,
and collaboration, the Committee aims to create initiatives that
advance the Greek agenda, and provide expectations and policies
for recognized chapters at the University. A variety of
stakeholders, including undergraduates, chapter officers, alumni
advisors, faculty/staff advisors, and administrators are invited
to participate.
In response to the charges outlined in A Call for Values
Congruence, the Greek Steering Committee began meeting in
February 2007 for the specific purposes of defining a set of
shared expectations and creating an assessment tool to measure
compliance. A variety of standards, evaluation models, and “best
practices” were studied, including those in use by National
Fraternity/Sorority Headquarters and other institutions of
higher education (see Source Documents). The Committee was asked
to, not only evaluate where the Community is presently, but to
set the proverbial bar at a level that ensured the continued
existence of Greek Life at the University.
The resulting Salisbury University Greek Assessment Program (SUGAP)
is both a quantitative and qualitative measurement of
organizational success in a given academic year. It defines the
type of chapter that we believe our existing organizations have
the potential to be, while also providing a blueprint for future
expansion groups. Although the SUGAP should be viewed primarily
as an incentive-based program with opportunities for positive
reinforcement and recognition, accountability remains a major
theme. In the modern world of higher education, fraternities and
sororities must continue to justify their place at the table
through word and deed.
