Objectives:

Methodology used to identify Ninth District Reclamation Chapters of the Year:

• In order to maintain equity, chapters are divided into three categories small (1-25) and large (26 - over 50). The total number of brothers reclaimed during the awarded year will be divided by the total number of financial members in the respective chapter from the previous FY. The chapter with the highest percentage will be recognized during the Annual Ninth District Meeting Founders Banquet.

• Upon request chapters must be prepared to provide official documentation of at least two reclamation activities conducted during the reporting FY. (1 point – 4 points) rating will be used in the event of any ties.

 9^th District Reclamation Statistics:

• 2 year Reclaimable as of 12-30-15 (IHQ) = 426 brothers were financial 2 years ago which are good reclamation candidates.

• ALL Reclaimable as of 12-30-15 = All reclaimable brothers; 7,847

• There were 305 brothers reclaimed as of 2014-15, which is only 3.89%.
