Outstanding Photography Award

The Outstanding Photography Award is presented to the chapter with the best spread of 5 photos illustrating their chapter's commitment to the tenets of the fraternity. Submissions that show members in action doing things are preferred to members posing/staged. Images should reflect the variety of activities that your chapter does throughout the year (recruitment, social, professional development, service, intramurals, alumni picnic, house improvement, homecoming float, etc., etc.). Items that will decrease the likelihood of your chapter receiving this award are photos of members engaged in inappropriate conduct and/or images of members consuming alcohol.
The Outstanding Photography Award winner is chosen based on the following criteria used to judge 5 photos:
- set of photographs submitted for consideration (not for any 1 photo);
- at least 1 photo showing a Service activity/event;
- at least 1 photo showing a Professional Development activity/event;
- at least 1 photo showing a Social, Brotherhood, Athletic, or Alumni activity/event.
