Excelsior Award

The Excelsior Award is presented to chapters that show significant improvement in a specific area of chapter operations.

These areas include: 

  • Volunteers: Supporting undergraduates and alumni in achieving sustainable success in each area of core operations.
  • Recruitment: Consistently bringing in new members to the organization who meet high standards that align with the Fraternity’s values and represent the top talent on campus.
  • Member Development: Facilitating an experience that provides members with the skills and growth opportunities they need to lead a successful life during and after college.  
  • Academics: Fostering a culture of success in the classroom by providing structured academic programming, restorative support, and partnerships with university staff and resources.  
  • Finances: Implementing financial procedures that include timely collection, strong oversight and proper fiscal allocation that align with SigEp’s values supporting a positive membership experience.
  • Risk Management: Establishing a safe and healthy environment for brothers and friends of the Fraternity.
  • Housing: Fostering a safe, healthy, living-learning community that supports an unparalleled membership experience.  
  • Standards and Accountability: Supporting a culture where all members live in accordance with the values and expectations of the Fraternity and their university.
  • Chapter Leadership: Improved chapter operations that can be directly traced back to improvements in organizational leadership management and support.

A Revere bowl is awarded to the recipients at the Carlson Leadership Academies each spring.
