- The Revolution Accreditation Program (RAP)
GW Fraternity and Sorority Life believes each chapter has the opportunity to be revolutionary for their organization and collectively advance the entire fraternity and sorority community through the continuous process of improvement. The Revolution Accreditation Program (RAP) allows chapters the opportunity to determine the best pathway for their success. The program is not a “one size fits all” model, but instead, encourages GW chapters to assess their current reality, determine goals to fit their individual needs, develop action plans to meet their established goals, and reflect on successes and opportunities for improvement. Chapters have the opportunity to continuously grow and improve, achieving the goals they set for themselves in each of the seven priority areas created to provide congruence with the commonly shared values of fraternities and sororities at GW expressed our FSL values: Resilience; Altruism; Inclusivity & Social Justice; Solidarity; and, Enthusiasm in Lifelong Learning.
To remain recognized by GW Fraternity and Sorority Life, all chapters are required to complete each of the Revolution components each year, including the submission of all requested forms and documentation. The seven priority areas include Academic Achievement, Harm Reduction, Community Service & Philanthropy, Membership Development, Membership Intake/Recruitment & New Member Retention, Chapter Management, and External Relations. Chapters must also participate in the evaluation process that includes End of Year Panels.
Accreditation schedules are based on the reported election cycle of each chapter president.
