Recognizing notable Phi Psis
Introduced in 1998, the prestigious National Leadership Award recognizes notable Phi Psis for their professional achievements, the significant impact they have made in their communities and the impression they have left on Phi Kappa Psi. The award is ceremonially presented during the closing Awards Banquet during the Grand Arch Council.
Each recipient serves as a positive role model for the future generations of our great Fraternity and has made great strides in their chosen professions, their surrounding communities and/or within Phi Kappa Psi. We are grateful and honored to call these men brothers.
Nominations will be accepted through June 16th when they will be reviewed by a selection committee who will make a final determination of those to be honored during the 2024 Minneapolis Grand Arch Council.
