ADVISOR AWARDS
Advisors are recognized for significant contributions to the growth of individual members, service as the chapter’s advocate on campus, and encouragement of the chapter to be involved on the local, regional, and/or international level of the organization. Advisor Awards include a team award and three individual categories based on the length of service and previous recognition.
Paragon Awards for New Advisors
For advisors with less than four years of service. This award is given only once.
