Alpha Sigma Phi Awards
Alpha Sigma Phi seeks to recognize outstanding achievement by its graduate
Brothers, undergraduate Brothers and chapters. A series of special awards have
evolved over the years. Most are presented at the Grand Chapters and National
Leadership Conferences, others on special occasions throughout the year.

Making many of the individual awards even more special is the fact that
recipients must be nominated by their Brothers for recognition. You are
encouraged to contact the Fraternity Headquarters for an appropriate
nominating form if you know of someone deserving. Chapter awards are
generally based on various reports requested of chapters throughout the year.
But every chapter is encouraged to determine which awards it would like to
work towards and to determine how it would like to present its case for the
recognition.

Alumni Awards
Delta Beta Xi
In 1938, the special award of Delta Beta Xi was created by the Grand
Council to honor those men who have given outstanding service to the
Fraternity. One hundred Brothers were selected when the award was
created. Each year the Grand Council may select up to ten men to receive
the Delta Beta Xi award.

This unusual and signal honor recalls the period from 1864 to 1875 when
members of Delta Beta Xi secretly pledged their allegiance to Alpha Sigma
Phi. Their courage kept the traditions of the Fraternity alive despite a
faculty ban on the organization.
