The Greek Chapter Scorecard provides key measures for each chapter within the Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Panhellenic Association. The data for the reports are gathered from each chapter and council. Click here to access the latest scorecards.

Mizzou is committed to the development of individual Greek students, chapters and the community. To ensure quality living and learning environments for members, Mizzou fraternities and sororities maintain accreditation with the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life.

Individual members contribute to their chapters’ success in fulfilling their missions through mentorship, advocacy and collaborating with the university and Columbia communities, as well as national Greek organizations.

Accreditation Status

The University of Missouri’s Fraternity & Sorority Chapter Accreditation Program is designed to assess the completion of the minimum expectations for chapter success as outlined by the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life. Chapters will receive one of the following designations based on their accreditation completion percentage from the previous academic year: Accredited with Distinction (90-100 percent), Accredited (70-89 percent), or Non-accredited (0-69 percent).

Chapters at the non-accredited level will be required to meet periodically with a Review Board or Fraternity & Sorority Life staff members to review the previous year’s completion status and plan for the next academic year. Being a non-accredited chapter does not necessarily restrict organization activities.
