Main purpose of the Borradaile Challenge?

• A. to recruit new members
• B. to ensure a quality fraternity experience
• C. To raise funds
• D. To host retreats

Answer: (B)

The main idea behind the Borradaile Challenge is to ensure a quality fraternity experience for members by providing a clear standard of chapter performance and accountability. It guides chapters to demonstrate strong practices in how members are developed, how programs and events are organized, how conduct and risk management are handled, and how the chapter upholds the fraternity’s values in day-to-day life. The goal isn’t about recruiting new members, fundraising, or hosting retreats; those activities may happen, but the challenge focuses on whether the chapter is fulfilling its responsibility to create a positive, safe, and principled environment for its brothers. When chapters meet the criteria, they show they’re sustaining the fraternity’s purpose and offering a meaningful experience; when they don’t, the evaluation points to concrete steps for improvement.
