ZTA recieves EVERFI Impact Award

Zeta Tau Alpha is one of two organizations to receive the 2019 EVERFI Impact Award for Excellence in Sorority & Fraternity Life.

The EVERFI Impact Award recognizes an organization’s commitment to creating safe and healthy college campuses by implementing evidence-based practices.

As a member of EVERFI’s Campus Prevention Network, ZTA was eligible to be considered for an EVERFI Impact Award. Of the more than 1,500 Campus Prevention Network members, only 10 received a 2019 EVERFI Impact Award. Award winners have demonstrated a strong commitment to learning and capturing prevention best practices.

Winners in the Excellence in Sorority & Fraternity Life category were selected based on the results and scores of their Fraternity and Sorority Diagnostic Inventory (FASDI). The FASDI is a set of comprehensive, evidenced-informed assessments of an institution’s prevention programs and practices grounded in peer-reviewed literature on best practices. Additional selection criteria include interviews with prevention experts and a careful review of each institution’s accomplishments from the previous year.

EVERFI Impact Award winners consistently demonstrate a dedication to prevention efforts that exceed their peer institutions. For example:

• 2019 EVERFI Impact Award winners spend, on average, three times more per student on prevention efforts than peer institutions with a spend of $14.44 vs. $4.78, respectively.
• 2019 EVERFI Impact Award winners average one full-time equivalent (FTE) dedicated to prevention per every 4,979 students versus non-recognized universities, which dedicate one FTE per 9,191 students.
• 87.5% of 2019 EVERFI Impact Award winners have engaged in a formal strategic planning process to inform and guide prevention efforts while only 46% of non-recognized institutions/organizations have undertaken the same process.
• 100% of 2019 EVERFI Impact Award winners have undertaken a comprehensive review and examination of their policies related to prevention versus 84% of non-recognized institutions/organizations.
• 100% of 2019 EVERFI Impact Award winners have articulated specific, measurable goals for improving prevention efforts compared to only 45% of non-recognized peer institutions/organizations.

EVERFI Impact Award winners are recognized during EVERFI’s annual Campus Prevention Network Summit, which was held in Nashville, Tennessee, June 10-12, 2019.
