Chapter Games 2026
The Race for the GLOAT
Legacy Meets Leadership
Chapter Games is not about size. It is not about age. It is not about historical volume.
It is about engagement.
We compete to measure:
- Who shows up.
- Who invests.
- Who uplifts.
- Who builds legacy through action.
Every Line — regardless of size — has a path to excellence. Participation is normalized to ensure fairness across generations.
This is competition with accountability. This is legacy in motion.
Completed and locked prior to Knowledge Challenge.

How SSM Final Score Is Calculated
SSM Score = Sum of approved raw points × (Unique participating Brothers ÷ Eligible Line Roster) × 25%
This rewards both impact volume and the breadth of your Line's participation.
- Score = Per Member Giving × Engagement Multiplier
- Per Member Giving = Total Raised ÷ Active Roster
- Engagement Multiplier = Donor Participants ÷ Active Roster
- Legacy bonus may apply (+10%)
- Final weighted score rounded to whole numbers
Fundraising & Data Integrity
- Each Line manages its own Donorbox fundraising page.
- All totals displayed are verified cumulative amounts from Donorbox and updated weekly by Admin.
- Base44 does not process donations or store payment data — it serves as the competition display and scoring engine only.
Homecoming is worth 10% of the overall Chapter Games score. Each eligible Brother can earn his Line 0.5 point by registering and another 0.5 point by attending. Registration and attendance points are combined and divided by the number of eligible Brothers, so Lines of different sizes compete fairly.
- 0.5 point per registered Brother
- 0.5 point per attending Brother
- Combined points ÷ Eligible Brothers = Homecoming participation rate
- Participation rate × 10 = weighted Homecoming score (max 10)
- Attendance cannot exceed registrations unless an Admin corrects the record
- Verified walk-up attendees will be counted as both registered and attended for Chapter Games scoring purposes
Final Score = Weighted total across all phases:
