Each Award has three levels of achievement (BLUE, GOLD, and DIAMOND) which have a corresponding number of requirements that must be met in order to achieve each level of excellence. 

In each Award, there are a certain number of required and optional elements that every Chapter must meet in order to qualify for a given level of excellence.  The purpose of the specific categories in the COE is to ensure that a chapter has a well-rounded program that includes not only the required (mostly reporting) elements, but also good Chapter programs in the areas of development and service.  The purpose of the required elements in the PPOE is to ensure chapter compliance and familiarity with the National Pledging Standards.

The requirements for each award must be completed during the annual reporting period of August 1^st through July 31^st, which corresponds to the Fraternity’s fiscal year.  A Chapter may only achieve one level of excellence in each award per year (the highest level based on the number of requirements completed), but may qualify for both awards in the same fiscal year. 

COE and PPOE recipients will be recognized at the National Convention in even-numbered years and at Regional Conferences in odd-numbered years. 

Requirements need to be signed off by the Section Chair, Region Director, or other designated alumni volunteer.  The Chapter President should be in contact regularly with the Section Chair and Region Director (and their alumni volunteers) to monitor the progress of the Chapter during the reporting period of August 1^st through July 31^st each year.

All Chapters in Good Standing are eligible or these Awards.  See the Chapter Checklist on Page 1 for the definition of “good standing”.

The date of receipt by the National Office will be the date of record for these awards.

These programs have been created, and will be administered, by the National Membership & Extension Committee in partnership with the National Board of Directors and Section Chairs.
