-John Reily Knox Chapter Excellence Award 2007
- The highest award a chapter can receive based on chapter excellence. At
the 157th General Convention in 1996, chapter delegates overwhelmingly
approved the creation of the John Reily Knox Chapter Excellence Award.
Approval of this award established a milestone in Beta history as the
delegates evaluated Beta's current recognition of chapter achievement and
decided that it was time for Beta chapters to do even better than the Sisson
Award. Epsilon Lambda received this award for the first time at the
168th General Convention in 2007.
