The Annual Greek Awards are based on the five Pillars of Excellence that include the shared core values
of individual fraternities and sororities as well as that of the entire fraternity and sorority community.
These Pillars include Brotherhood and Sisterhood, Intellectual Development, Civic Engagement, Values
Integration and Leadership Development. The Pillars of Excellence were created to challenge
organizations to become more purposeful in their activities, provide more meaningful experiences for
their members, and better align their organizations and Indiana University missions. The Councils
encourage chapters to incorporate the Pillars of Excellence into goal-setting and leadership development,
as well as utilizing them in strategic planning. Each Council leadership uses the Pillars of Excellence as
they plan programs, create educational opportunities, and lead their council communities. Each chapter
participated in an interview evaluation process before a panel of three judges composed of alumni
volunteers, IU faculty & staff and students.
It was a glorious night at the IU Auditorium on April 19 when over 2,000 members of the IU fraternity
and sorority community gathered together to celebrate excellence in a variety of categories for chapters
and individual members.
Overall Chapters of Excellence
These outstanding chapters received excellent ratings in all five Pillars categories to be eligible for the
Overall Award of Excellence. This recognition was awarded to the chapters that demonstrate excellent
and/or exemplary achievement, uphold the ideas and values espoused by the organization, the IU
fraternity and sorority community, and the Indiana University mission statement.
