Earlier this summer, Beta Nu Chapter was recognized with the 2025/2026 Chapter Achievement Award at an awards banquet during the 170th Anniversary Convention, held in San Antonio, TX. Brother Cooper West (2026), chapter president, received the award on behalf of the chapter.

The Chapter Achievement Award was created in 1991 to recognize and encourage chapters that demonstrate strong performance or significant progress in most areas of chapter operations and organization. It is the second highest award that may be given to a chapter on an annual basis. It is given to chapters that apply for the Alter Award and demonstrate substantial success, progress, and improvement in chapter operations.
Beta Nu was recognized for excellence in 10 areas: alumni engagement, chapter operations, integration of the Resolute Man, internal cooperation, philanthropy, pledge & member education, ritual, Sacred Purpose, safety, and social programming. This is the second year in a row that the chapter has been recognized with the award and their sixth overall1.
This award will look great on the walls of the new house when we move-in in the fall. Congratulations, Brothers!

- At least that I have records of. There are probably more from the 90s and early 2000s that I haven’t been able to catalog yet. ↩︎
