Each year, chapters may request to be recognized for one of two “Levels of Excellence”:
- “5 Star” for the very, very best chapters: and
- “4 Star” for chapters doing an above average job.
A standard set of rating criteria, which is included, will be used to evaluate ALL chapters. Chapters accumulating at least 220 of the maximum 240 total possible points will be appropriately recognized as a “5” Star chapter; and chapters achieving between 200 and 219 points will be recognized as a “4” Star chapter. ALL chapters qualifying for a particular “Level of Excellence” will be appropriately recognized and be given a special “Battle Streamer” in recognition of their selection.
