Amy Burnham Onken, Illinois Epsilon
Honored as the "greatest Franternity woman of all time" and Grand President for 31 years, (1921 - 1952) the longest term of any Pi Phi Grand President. The Amy Burnham Onken Award, Pi Phi's highest individual award, was established in her honor. (deceased)

It's an award for most outstanding undergrad member--I think it's limited to seniors... (not sure?)

I was nominated by my chapter senior year and then won the award on the province (but not the national) level (this was before regions). Both the province winners (maybe regional winners now???) and the national winner get a specialized guard to wear in recognition. It's pretty cool!
