StudentCPT Chapter Expectations
What the National Office Expects from StudentCPT Chapters
As student leaders, our desire is for you to lead your chapters with excellence and cultivate an environment of ethical behavior on your campuses.
CPT Staff are available to assist you and provide guidance if you have questions regarding best practices for leading your chapter. We are always glad to provide Quick Tips for Leading Your Chapter.
Chapter Performance Levels
StudentCPT Chapters are classified into three different levels: Developing Chapters, Star Chapters and Golden Star Chapters. Our goal is for all chapters to eventually reach the Golden Star Chapter status. The minimum expectations for each chapter level are listed below:
Level 1: Developing Chapter Status
All chapters are considered Developing Chapters until they achieve Star Chapter status.
