The Presidential Spirit Award at Missouri Western State University was created to increase campus pride and spirit during the Griffon women’s and men’s basketball season. Student organizations compete to be recognized as the most spirited group on campus. The reward, outside of bragging rights, is a $500 check directly deposited to the organization’s bank account and a traveling trophy! Phi Delta Theta has won the award in both years of its existence and is recognized by faculty members and students as THE spirit section of every game they attend.
