Recent Awards Given To Our Chapter

-John Reily Knox Chapter Excellence Award 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 - 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.
