Zeta Beta Tau Standards of Excellence and Awards Guide

2012-2013

As we approach the end of the 2012-2013 school year, we celebrate the many incredible accomplishments of our Chapters and Colonies.  The packet is designed to showcase those chapters who are contributing to the mission of Zeta Beta Tau.   This guide will give you all the necessary information to create the most successful Standards of Excellence and Awards Packet. There are four (4) total packets you can submit. Part 1 and 2 of the Standards of Excellence and Awards are required. The other two are if you wish to nominate anyone for Individual Undergraduate or Alumnus or Advisor Awards.

You will also find the requirements of eligibility for National Awards, as well as a list of all National Awards and a description.  If you have any questions, please contact the Headquarters at 317-334-1898 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  We look forward to sharing in the successes of your Chapter or Colony this year and give recognition to the most worthy groups.  Thank you for all of your hard work and good luck!
