Alter Award -
The Alter Award is presented annually by the International
Headquarters to those chapters which demonstrate excellence
in all aspects of Fraternity operations. The Alter Award
is the highest honor the Fraternity can bestow on an undergraduate
chapter. Chapters are evaluated on the same areas as for
the Chapter Excellence Awards and the award is given each
summer at the National Convention.
Phi Chapter has won Eight Howard R. Alter Jr. Awards
for the years 1986, 87, 88, 94, 96, 2001, 2005 & 2006, and
continually strives to add to our collection.
Chapter Achievement Award -
The Chapter Achievement Award was created in 1991 to recognize
those chapters that apply for the Alter Award, and do not
receive the award, but demonstrate substantial progress
and
improvement in chapter organization and operations. The
Chapter Achievement Award is presented annually by the fraternity
for those chapters which demonstrate excellence in a
number of aspects of fraternity operations, but which have
not achieved the Alter Award level.
