During a 30-week school year, each pearl strives to achieve new levels by scoring points weekly performing skill demonstrations on video. Pearls move up, level by level, the College Status Scale.
Level 0 = 001 - 99 Points = No Award
Level 1 = 100 - 199 Points = College Status 1 Award
Level 2 = 200 - 299 Points = College Status 2 Award
Level 3 = 300 - 399 Points = College Status 3 Award
Level 4 = 400 - 499 Points = College Status 4 Award
Level 5 = 500 or More Points = College Status 5 Award
Each award is accompanied by a prize given by a sponsor of the chapter.
