Seventy-nine Chapters Earn 2024 Peterson Significant Chapter Awards

Sigma Chi International Fraternity ended the 2024 Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop held July 31 to Aug. 4 at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, by recognizing the successes and improvements among undergraduate chapters across North America.

The highest honor, the 2024 J. Dwight Peterson Significant Chapter Award, was presented to 79 groups at colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

Established in 1964, the Peterson Award recognizes chapters that achieve excellence in all operations, including academics, philanthropy, recruitment and Ritual performance.

The Fraternity presents two levels of the Peterson Award based on a chapter’s application score, with chapters scoring 95% or above on their annual report earning a J. Dwight Peterson Significant Chapter Gold Award and those scoring between 79% and 94.5% on their annual report earning the J. Dwight Peterson Significant Chapter Blue Award.

Other chapters received additional awards. The New Haven chapter received the Daniel William Cooper Award that honors the undergraduate chapter with the most outstanding scholastic achievement program and comes with a $5,000 scholarship. First runner-up is the Georgia Southern chapter with a $3,000 scholarship, and second runner-up is the New Mexico State chapter with a $2,000 scholarship. The Fraternity’s Butler and Georgia chapters earned the James F. Bash Significant Chapter Improvement Award.

The Fraternity also recognized its top Associate chapters with the Julio A. Varela Outstanding Associate Chapter Award. The associate chapters at Iowa State, Michigan State, Missouri-Columbia and Mount Royal earned this honor.
