Opinions on FSA Awards?

No one cares and they are not an accurate representation

Some people may not care about them, but for the houses that are awarded and are finalists should get some credit. They are finalists for a reason. No need to discredit them

The application takes WEEKS to fill out, and houses like KD & XO work SO hard to make sure they do everything they can to place! I’m on exec in a chapter that didn’t place and it sucks, and the redid the entire application to make sure it was fair and once again KD & XO are going to win several categories.

FSA awards don’t really represent the most social houses as much as they represent houses that work hard and have involved and smart members. So just because you get an FSA award doesn’t mean you’re necessarily a top house, but it does mean you contribute a lot to the university

For fraternities it is definitely not an accurate representation of the top houses. Being social and having good relations does not show from these awards

I think that the finalists are top houses, at least for sororities.

I think the sorority finalists are top houses. Frat finalists... no. Farmhouse is in every category lol

Who even has received Dean Zelma in the past years?

I think FSA awards are a good indication for both councils of who performs well in areas, it’s not like there are any horrible houses winning the awards every year — always the classic middle/upper tier houses everyone agrees with.

If there were awards giving out for how social a house is that would be so embarrassing for Greek Life.

They don’t mean a ton but everyone always complains about the university not recognizing Greeks for the good things we do, so you can’t have it both ways and say the awards don’t mean anything.
