Summer Awards
Pi Kappa Phi's Summer Awards are divided into four categories:
Applications and nominations for Summer Awards are due in May. Note: Some awards are statistically based and do not require an application.
Mixson,
Fogarty and Kroeg Awards
The
Mixson, Fogarty and Kroeg awards, named in honor of our three founders,
recognize the three most outstanding chapters of Pi Kappa Phi in the nation
with respect to the size of the Greek community on their campus. Recipients of
these awards display overall excellence in the areas of the Seven Objectives:
Recruitment Success, Superior Associate Member Education, Academic Achievement,
Sound Chapter Operations, Living the Ritual, Commitment to Service and
Effective Chapter Alumni Relations.
Champion Master Chapter Awards
Chapters
that achieve a composite score of “level III” on the Seven Objectives Report
are recognized as Champion Master Chapters. Champion Master Chapters will be
considered finalists for the Mixson, Fogarty and Kroeg awards.

The chapter with the most initiated
undergraduates in the past year receives this award.
Most Outstanding Recruitment Growth Award
This award goes to the chapter with the highest
membership percentage growth from the previous year.
Recruitment Excellence Awards
This award goes to all chapters that are in
the top quartile in size on their campus.

yearly recruitment goal (the average of the last three years’ recruitment

Retention Excellence Awards

retention rate of 90 percent or greater.
W.E. Edington Award
Brother Edington, Upsilon (Illinois), realized
that fraternity was in crisis due to an onslaught of negative press about
fraternity men and low grades. He served as chairman of the scholarship
committee, which first began issuing awards to chapters and individual brothers
for academic success. In his honor, we recognize the chapter with the highest
cumulative G.P.A., based on the calendar year.
Most Improved G.P.A. Award
The chapter with the greatest overall
improvement in its G.P.A. receives this award.
