Which status represents an above average achievement by a chapter in a given area, indicating an above average fraternity experience?

• A. Order of the Star
• B. Basic
• C. Maxwell
• D. Outstanding

Answer: (A)

In Phi Kappa Tau, chapter recognitions rise with specific designations to show where a chapter excels. The designation Order of the Star signals that a chapter has achieved above-average results in a given area, marking a standout fraternity experience in that area. It’s the label that most clearly communicates “above average” performance compared to the standard expectations.

Other names like Basic or Maxwell or Outstanding indicate different levels or kinds of recognition, but they don’t convey the same explicit sense of above-average achievement in a particular area. So the Order of the Star best fits the idea of an above-average accomplishment signaling a stronger fraternity experience.
