I'm working with a chapter that doesn't give out any awards and they are looking for ideas. I can think of scholarship awards (highest cumulative GPA for overall chapter, for seniors, juniors, new members, etc.) but not much else.
Thanks for any help.

Many of the awards should be tied into the principles of your organization. Also keep in mind fun/silly awards.
My GLO is a co-ed service fraternity, so currently my chapter has the following awards:
Pledge of the Semester (pledge the Brothers feel best exemplied our principles during the pledge semester)
Brother of the Year (must have been a Brother for atleast a year. Brother the others feel best exemplies our principles)
Cardinal Principle Awards (choicen by our lead officers [who are ineligable] to the Brother who they feel has exemplied one of our 3 cardinal principles of Leadership, Friendship or Service).
Distinguished Service Key (by nomination. Given to the Brother (active or advisor) whom it is felt has given outstanding leadership and service to the chapter over a period of time. We don't feel obligated to give this each year, so its rare and special).
We also recognize the pledge who got the most signatures. I tried to get them to recognize the pledge with the most service hours.
Some chapters have the Pledge Master recognize a pledge.
Hope this gives you some ideas.
