Scholorship Program

Sigma Alpha Epsilon

Missouri Gamma Chapter

Scholarship Program

The goal of this program is to group members of the house into teams subject to a scoring system in order to make them more driven and accountable for one another. It is the hopes of this chapter to raise our overall g.p.a. to no less than a 3.0 through this program.

• The Eminent Archon, Eminent Deputy Archon, and Academic Chair will be named as the three captains in this program. Each of these three will begin to select active members of Missouri Gamma. Picks will be in order of authority (E.A., E.D.A., A.C.) until every member of the house has been selected as part of a team.
  • All pledges shall be required to meet in study hall for not less than two hours a week after pledgeship begins, dates will be determined by the Pledge Educator.
    • Pledges will be picked and added to teams by the same process once pledgeship has begun.
• If teams are not even, then the team with fewer members will count the active member of the team with the highest PIN number twice.
• Once the picking of teams has commenced the program will begin.
• The Brothers in this program shall be fined ($1.00 per class) for missing class, unless ill or on college duty.
  • In addition to going to class, the brothers shall be required to establish proof that they are accomplishing the activities conducive to academic success (Taking notes, engaging in the required readings, etc.). If they are not, they may be subject to a fine ($2). I will call note checks periodically in study hall.
  • Each week members of this chapter with a g.p.a. below 3.0 will be required to attend study hall twice. On top of this study hall they will be required to complete a minimum of seven additional hours of study. This study may be completed at a quiet place on campus, or in their rooms, or in a quiet place in the house. During this time all electronics devices shall remain off. (Completed at a quiet place on campus, in their rooms, or in a quiet place in the house. During this time all electronics devices shall remain off).
    • Study Halls will be mandatory to attend two times per week for no less than one hour and thirty minutes.
      • Skipping study hall without a valid¹ excuse will result in a fine ($10).
      • Arriving more than two minutes late to study hall will result in a fine ($5).
• If a brother shall be found to have failed to complete his ten hour requirement, or has not logged these hours appropriately, he shall be subject to fine ($10).
• If it is discovered that the brother in question has acted to deceive the house (in other words he claimed to have studied, and yet in truth engaged in another activity such as watching television) with regards to his study hours he shall be served a CUB fine ($50).
• The scoring system for the program will be as follows:
  • 15 points per member, per study hall will be awarded to teams for those not required to attend regularly scheduled study hall (3.0 g.p.a. or higher).
  • 10 points per member, per study hall who attends as required (2.9 or lower g.p.a.).
  • -15 points per member, per study hall who does not attend as required.
    • Members with valid excuses will not be penalized for missing study hall nor will they receive credit; it will simply be a zero for their team.
• 20 points per member for attending a tutoring session (writing lab, math lab, etc.) outside of the house.
  • Proof must be submitted and approved by the Academic Chair to receive points.
• In addition to this, members will be subject to an evaluation at mid-term in which the scoring will be done as follows:
  • 50 points per member with a g.p.a. from 3.5-4.0
  • 40 points per member with a g.p.a. from 3.0-3.49
  • 30 points per member with a g.pa. from 2.5-2.9
  • -10 points per member with a g.p.a. below 2.5
• Members will again be subject to evaluation after final grades have been reported with scoring as follows:
  • 100 points per member with a g.p.a from 3.5-4.0
  • 80 points per member with a g.p.a. from 3.0-3.49
  • 50 points per member with a g.p.a. from 2.5-2.9
  • -100 points per member with a g.p.a. below 2.5
  • 20 points for having the member of the chapter with the most improved g.p.a. from the beginning of the semester.
  • At the end of the semester the team with the most points will be declared the winner and will receive dinner at a local restaurant of their choice.
    • Second place will receive a pizza dinner from Little Caesars’.
    • Third place will receive a candy bar of their choice.
    • The member with the most improved g.p.a. will receive a steak dinner.
    • If after a semester the brother(s) in this program has still failed to meet GPA requirements, they shall be subject to further disciplinary action, including the revoking of voting privileges, and (if the chapter shall deem necessary) potential suspension from the house or expulsion.
