A year of hard work paid off for Arizona Gamma this week when they were named Fraternity Chapter of the Year at Northern Arizona University. Outstanding Chapter of the Year is an award given to the chapter with the most outstanding academics, philanthropy, community service and intramurals. This is the 7th time in the last 9 years that Arizona Gamma has won the award.

Arizona Gamma has taken several steps over the past year to improve the chapter as a whole. A few of these steps include a revamped scholarship program that offers incentives to the brothers who perform well academically, a new organized recruitment program that focuses on recruiting young men who best fit the three Cardinal Principles, and an increased focus on activities that increase and promote brotherhood within the chapter. Many new ideas and improvements for the chapter were identified at Arizona Gamma’s executive retreat that was organized by Chapter Adviser Joe Coughlin.
