Recognition
Outstanding chapters who fulfill all national requirements are recognized as Ivy Chapters.
Ivy Chapter Criteria:
To be distinguished as an Ivy Chapter, chapters must
- Induct new members within the current academic year ( ex. 2009-2010)
- Elect officers for the upcoming year before May
- Hold regular meetings
- Complete and submit the year-end report
- Make a minimum contribution to the national project (Dolly Parton's Imagination Library). Contributions are usually sent with the year-end reports. For more information about the SKD National Project, click here.
Chapters will be evaluated when the year-end reports are submitted in May, and Ivy Chapters will be identified at that time.
