------------------------------------------
Every year, the Chapter submits a dozen pages describing our membership development programs, academic successes, and overall sustainability.
These pages travel through K-State's Interfraternal Council to renowned leaders of the Greek community across the nation. The leaders - deans, consultants, and chairmen - review and compare the goals, motivations, and successes of our fraternity with other fraternities from Kansas State.
They send scores back, ranging from Clearly Relevant (the top score, meaning that we clearly make a difference in the community instead of being detrimental) to Irrelevant (the lowest score).
This year, we are proud to announce that the Chapter received top scores in four of eight categories: Membership Development, Chapter Development, Sustainability, and Risk Management.
Additionally, we received the second highest score possible in two more categories: Advancement and Academic Health. This success and approval from Greeks across the country
reaffirms our desire to build exceptional lives and create a truly spectacular fraternity.
"For everyone who helps make Acacia as successful as it is, whether you live in house or are one of the people challenging us to keep pushing forward, you have my thanks," said Br. Venerable Dean Taylor Kinney '08. "Without you, we never could be where we are today. With these motivated men and a road full of challenges ahead, we shall continue building the best fraternity experience possible!"
