Greek Life Awards

As spring semester comes to an end, it will be time to nominate your chapter and certain members for Greek Life Awards. These awards usually consist of but are not limited to the philanthropic award, outstanding senior award, outstanding new member award, and the most prestigious chapter of the year award. To win any of these awards you will have to write a short essay on why your chapter/member deserves the award.

To win the philanthropic award there are a few requirements. First off, your organization must raise money throughout the semester for their specific philanthropies. Also, most schools require to win this award that you cosponsor an event with another Greek organization. There are many different types of things you may do such as host a guest speaker, organize some sort of tournament or organize a walk/run.

To win the outstanding senior award your chapter must nominate a senior that has stood out throughout their college career in the Greek community and around campus. Many chapter will nominate their past president for this award or someone who has shown great leadership to your chapter and Greek community.

The outstanding new member award goes to a new member that is doing extraordinary things in the Greek community in a short period of time. For example, if there is a new member that is on your e-board and has really stepped up over a short year.

Chapter of the year is what every chapter aspires to get. This award is given to the one chapter that excels in all aspects of Greek life. To win this award your chapter has to be noticed for the philanthropic work they do, for supporting all other chapters and organizations and showing pride in their chapter.
