Greek Excellence Award Recipients 2025-26
Chapter of the Year: Theta Chi
This year’s Chapter of the Year is a true leader within our fraternity community. Over the past year, this chapter has consistently exceeded the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life’s expectations.
Many organizations on campus are filled with outstanding students, but what sets this chapter apart is their consistency. Time and time again, their members show up and step up. Their members are always in and out of the office with new ideas or showing up in numbers to campus events.
The brothers of this organization have been at the forefront of many new ideas within the Greek community this past year like the Geneseo Fraternity Council and basketball tournament for Men’s Mental Health.
What is appreciated most about this organization is their deep understanding of the true values of fraternity. They take their organization’s purpose seriously and hold one another accountable to those standards. They remain actively connected to their national organization, Greek office and other Greek organizations on campus.
