PAST AWARD RECIPIENTS
This award, established in 1963, is the highest award the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity can bestow on a member. The Alpha Delta Phi Award is only given on rare occasions when the Board of Governors adopts an authorizing resolution preceded by an explanatory preamble. This award is given to honor a lifetime of service to the fraternity. Less than 25 members have ever received the Alpha Delta Phi award since its creation.
