Very interesting assortment of chapters, I think.

Golden Lion - Thirteen total awarded at the 2007 Convention

Kappa - Samford
Beta Omega - Auburn University
Alpha Kappa - University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Zeta Nu - Clemson University
Eta Xi - Presbyterian College
Delta - University of Texas
Eta Epsilon - Miami University (Ohio)

Delta Phi - University of Missouri, Kansas City (first time winner!)
Zeta Sigma - College of Charleston (first time winner!)
Gamma Theta - Mount Union College (first time winner!)

I found this thread and thought I'd add a few more Kansas State chapter awards to the list. Gamma Alpha chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma won the national award for Most Outstanding Chaper (only one chapter named each year) in 2004, and FarmHouse Fraternity won the Ruby Cup for the top chapter in the nation in 2007. (I know FH is not greek letter, but they are a member of IFC and have won the K-State Top Fraternity Award out of 26 fraternities for the last two years as well.)

Go 'Cats!!

The highest award a Sigma Kappa chapter can win is Three Stars in the Standards of Excellence program. It is given to chapters who excel in a wide variety of areas including sisterhood, academics, programming, Panhellenic relations, recruitment, leadership, etc. It's not so much of a competition among chapters, but just chapters challenging themselves. Theoretically, every chapter COULD get three stars since there are outlined criteria (far above minimum standards) of what a chapter must achieve to get the award.

There were 11 Three Star chapters last year:

Alpha Sigma, Westminster College (PA)
Alpha Chi, Georgetown College (KY)
Beta Zeta, University of Maryland
Delta Chi, University of Central Oklahoma
Epsilon Delta, Susquehanna University (PA)
Epsilon Tau, California State University, Fullerton
Epsilon Chi, Virginia Tech
Theta Zeta, University of Virginia
Theta Theta, Albright College (PA)
Kappa Zeta, Elon University (NC)
Kappa Iota, University of Pennsylvania

There are other awards that include one chapter as the best in a specific category, and a few (3-5) honorable mentions. Plus, there are recognition awards for sisterhood (19 chapters recognized) and academic achievement (36 chapters recgonized). Beta Zeta, University of Maryland won more of these awards/honorable mentions than any other Sigma Kappa chapter, including:

Best Public Relations
Honorable Mention for Excellence in Recruitment
Honorable Mention for Outstanding Implementation of the Promise Program (Our NM program)
Honorable Mention for Best Member Development Programming
Sisterhood Recognition Award
Academic Achievement Award

I really don't think I am being biased when I say my chapter is awesome.

The Sigma Chi chapter at Kansas State would get the Peterson Award every year for the past 17 years (could be wrong, just know they had the most total) until 2007. But it's still a good chapter
