Epsilon Lambda Annual Awards Banquet

The Annual Awards Banquet is an annual event held each December. It is a time to come together in brotherhood and recognize individual members of the chapter for their outstanding achievements.  

Mina Awni Gayed Award

The Mina A. Gayed Award was created in honor of Epsilon Lambda’s fallen brother, Mina Awni Gayed, “of ever honored memory.” The award was created to honor a Chapter Member who displays the qualities of dedication, achievement, and brotherhood as Brother Gayed did every day. This is the highest honor that can be bestowed onto a Chapter Member. We shall never forget those who show the meaning of true Beta Spirit.

Mina Awni Gayed, #235 of the Epsilon Lambda Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. Mina was a graduate of Blue Valley Northwest High School. He attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City where he enrolled in the 6-Year Medical School Program. He served various positions for Epsilon Lambda such as Greek Week Representative, Pledge Educator, Auditor, Philanthropy Chair, and Vice-President of Financial Affairs. Brother Gayed was tragically lost on May 25th, 2004; however, his memory and honor lives on with all those in the Beta Pale.
