Criteria for awards
OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY, INC.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL ACTION COMMITTEE

In this report we establish a fraternal standard for judging Social Action activity by chapters. The implementation of this standard at the International level will allow our districts and chapters to understand, with clarity, how Omega recognizes and judges Social Action. Following these guidelines are strongly recommended.

The criteria to be used for the determination of International Social Action Award recipients are listed below:

20 points for each mandated program completed by the Chapter.
25 points for each of the Social Action Special Emphasis Programs completed by the Chapter:

Financial Education Program
National Diabetes Program
Voter Registration
Charles Drew Blood Drives

10 Points for each Social Action Activity other than mandated or special emphasis programs. An activity is considered a Social Action Activity when the Chapter participates with another organization or independently takes on a project that provides significant support to the community. A 10 point allocation should be given for each activity, even if the chapter has received points for previous contributions to the same organization. Some examples are, but not limited to, the following:

Food and Clothing Drives
Thanksgiving Baskets to the Needy
United Way
Sickle Cell Foundation
Senior Citizen Projects
Mentoring and Educational Projects
Campus/ City/County Clean-Up Projects

Boys and Girls Clubs
Black on Black Crime Workshops
American Cancer Society
United Negro College Fund (UNCF)
Habitat for Humanity Projects
City and State Humanitarian Projects

10 Points for each $500.00 donation to any Social Action Project by the Chapter or by another organization in the name of Omega. Points for scholarship donations will not be counted in the Social Action Report.
50 points for each media documented community service award received for work involved in the community by the Chapter or a Brother in the Chapter.

All activities, projects, awards, and donations must be clearly listed on the Social Action Report Form. A report book is required with documentation of all activities including donations or example, dates must be listed and appropriate supporting documentation attached. Parties, dances or other social activities designed to raise funds and/or support community organizations may be considered as a Social Action activity; however, those events that only involve the Chapter Brothers and their families will not be considered as a Social Action Project or Activity.

Three award categories have been developed based on membership type and size: small graduate chapters (5 to 49 brothers), large graduate chapters (50 brothers or more) and an undergraduate chapter. Districts will submit the reports from each category to the International Chairman for consideration for the International Social Action Chapter(s) of the Year.
