AWARDS

The Pi-Beta Zeta Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha International Fraternity is a new Fraternity on the come up. considering we have only been in existence since 1978 this is a huge achievement. We have won the Grand High Alpha Award (Chapter of the year) five times out of 200 plus Chapters. Only two other Chapters have won more, and this is based on a consistent high performance for a three-year period. We have won many more international awards, including but not limited to Alumni Affairs Program, Tozier Brown Public Affairs, Warren A. Cole Recruitment, and Feeding America.

We have also had individual brothers receive the Cyril F. “Duke” Flad Outstanding Undergraduate Award, two brothers chosen to serve as Grand High Sigma (Board of the International Fraternity), and brothers who also served as Educational Leadership Consultants (ELC’s) for the International Fraternity. We have had alumni serve as Chapter Advisors (High Pi’s) at ours and other Chapters, an alumni brother serve on the Grand High Zeta, and one who served nine years on the Board of the Lambda Chi Alpha Educational Foundation.

We have also won countless local awards at UCSD for philanthropy, IFC involvement, public affairs, and more.
