Accreditation Program Purpose & Overview
The purpose of the Eastern Illinois University Fraternity and Sorority Life Chapter Accreditation Program of CLIPS is to gather information about the excellent work our FSL community is achieving. The information collected will be immensely valuable. This will give our council leadership and staff who support the community vital information to develop more intentional programs, workshops, and opportunities to help each chapter continue to improve. We hope this program will provide an incentive for each member, chapter, and council to continue reaching new heights.
This packet outlines the basic expectations of fraternities and sororities at Eastern Illinois University. In addition, this program allows and challenges chapters to monitor and improve their own activity and performance through recognition. The accreditation criteria and process have been found to promote a healthy foundation for fraternities and sororities.
