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!

^^Yes that's what the regional winner receives now. And you're correct that it's only for seniors. One of my sisters was the regional winner 2 years ago, and she got a special dangle. I was our chapter's recipient last year (and my big was 3 years ago)!
