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. Click Once

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. Click Once
