In order to provide member councils the best assessment data and to compare "apples to apples" for recognition purposes, AFLV divides member councils into the divisions based on type of council and number of member chapters. Councils that submit the Awards & Assessment Applications each year will receive recognition within their designated division and an assessment report that shows how their achievement compares to others in their division.

The Divisions

Greek Councils

• All councils are in one division, regardless of number of member chapters

• Division II: 7-12 chapters
• Division III: 13-20 chapters
