Sigma Pi
Convocation
July 31 - August 4, 2002
Our chapter faired incredibly well at this year's biannual Sigma Pi
Convocation. This summer, the event was held at the Loews Hotel in
downtown Philadelphia. Brothers Chris Dostie, Jason Ray, Morgan Parris,
and Matt Valentine represented the chapter for the very sucessful week.
When it was all said and done with, Auburn's chapter had taken home one
individual award and six chapter awards, including the coveted Grand
Sage's Award.
Grand Sage's Award (Large Fraternity)
This award is often viewed as the most prestigious award given at Convocation. Three of these awards are given to the fraternities which maintain the best all-around operations. They go to the best small, medium, and large fraternities. Performance is evaluated in the following areas: scholarship, membership size and ranking, membership recruitment, finances, efficiency, chapter programming, service to the community, alumni relations, leadership on campus, image, and overall ranking on campus.
Grand Council Award
This award is presented every two years to the top ten Sigma Pi chapters in the world. The top ten chapters are determined using the same standards as those used for the Grand Sage's Award.
Chapter Scholarship Award
This award is presented every two years to the chapters maintaining the best GPAs within Sigma Pi. It is one of many ways that Sigma Pi encourages its members to strive for academic excellence.
Efficiency Award
This award is presented annually and recognizes chapters for the timely submission of reports and fees to the Executive Office. The top ten chapters are recognized.
Membership Recruitment Award
This award recognizes the chapters who recruited, pledged, and initiated the most men. Again, the top ten chapters of Sigma Pi are recognized.
Membership Award
This award is presented to the top ten chapters registering the most members in a fiscal year.
Cletus A. Broecker Award
Chris Dostie was awarded this individual achievement award for his outstanding leadership on campus. It was created in honor of Cletus Broecker's commitment to helping others.
