Following the chapter’s receipt of the 2025/2026 Chapter Achievement Award, Brother John Cleaver (2012) was recognized by the Grand Chapter of Theta Chi with the George T. Kilavos Alumni Award during an alumni reception at the 170th Anniversary Convention in San Antonio, TX.
The George T. Kilavos Alumni Award permits the Grand Chapter, collegiate chapters, alumni chapters, house corporations, alumni associations, and other organized groups in the Fraternity to officially show their appreciation of and to publicly recognize and properly honor those alumnus members of the Fraternity who by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest have made meritorious contributions to the local, regional or international general welfare of Theta Chi Fraternity.
The award consists of two physical items: a lapel pin and a certificate. The first is a silver lapel pin with a chased border and a red enamel background, on which is mounted the coat of arms of the Fraternity. The second is a certificate, suitable for framing, bearing the name of the recipient, the name of the presenting party, and the presentation date. If the Grand Chapter presents the award, then the lapel pin will contain a small ruby at the bottom center of the border.
