Past Award Winners

Fraternity

Grand Chapter Award

The Grand Chapter Award was created in 2004 to recognize the top 25 chapters in the Fraternity. Since then, it has evolved to recognize those chapters who achieve a high standard on the Fraternity’s Chapter Report Card during the academic year. These chapters are then considered for several biennial awards, including the Grand Council Award and the Grand Sage’s Award.

The Grand Council Award

The Grand Council Award was established in 1982 and originally occupied the role which the Grand Sage’s Award now occupies. In 1994, the award was altered so that it was presented to the top-10 chapters within Sigma Pi. This award was expanded in 2004 from recognizing the top-10 overall Sigma Pi Chapters to the top-15, including the top five from each of the three tiers of chapters. In 2006, the tier structure changed to honor the four founding fathers of the Fraternity. The award went from recognizing the top-15 overall Sigma Pi chapters to the top-12, including the top three from each of the four tiers of chapters in relation to the number of social fraternities at the respective host institution, (1-5, 6-9, 10-19, and 20+ fraternities on each campus).

The Grand Sage’s Award

The Grand Sage’s Award originally recognized the most improved chapter during the biennium. At the 1972 Convocation, the delegates voted to change the criteria to recognize the best overall chapter. In 1992, it was decided that a chapter in each tier (small, medium and large) should receive a Grand Sage’s Award. In 2006, the tier structure was revamped to expand the award to the top four chapters. The tiers – each named after a Founding Father – were created based upon the number of similar social fraternities at the respective host institutions; the George Martin Patterson Tier designed for campuses with 1-5 fraternities, the James Thompson Kingsburg Tier for those with 6-9 fraternities, the William Raper Kennedy Tier with 10-19, and the Rolin Rosco James Tier with 20 and above.
