Buchanan Outstanding Chapter Award

Every two years at Conclave, we recognize our highest performing chapters with the Buchanan Outstanding Chapter Award.  Named in honor of past Grand President Edwin Buchanan, the Buchanan Cup, as we commonly refer to it, represents superior and sustained achievement in our Fraternity. The Buchanan Cup, or "Buc Cup" recognizes the best-of-the-best Sigma Phi Epsilon chapters. Chapters are measured in relation to the accomplishments of their peers on campuses across the country. Only the chapters that excel in every area of operations and further the Grand Chapter's strategic plan qualify for this high honor.

In order to be eligible, a chapter must have been chartered by the previous Conclave.

Chapters are self-nominated by completing and submitting an application by March of each Conclave year. 

Applications for the 2019 Buchanan Cup are due by March 11, 2019. Late submissions will not be accepted. 

The Buchanan Cup application can be downloaded here. Completed submissions should be sent to buccup@sigep.net.

Recommendations from campus professionals can be submitted here. Recommendations from district governors can be submitted here.

An engraved silver bowl is presented to Buchanan Cup winners at the Grand Chapter Conclave. Chapters winning five consecutive Buchanan Outstanding Chapter Awards receive an engraved gold bowl, symbolizing a decade of excellence.
