INDIANAPOLIS, August 24, 2025 — Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity is proud to share that the Delta Lambda Chapter at Monmouth College has been recognized as one of the top fraternity chapters in North America for 2025.

Delta Lambda earned an Award of Distinction from the North American Interfraternity Conference. The NIC’s Awards of Distinction recognize individuals, chapters, councils and organizations annually to highlight those who exemplify excellence in leadership, service and education within the fraternal community.  Zeta Beta Tau is a Governing Council organization among NIC members.

Specifically, Chapter Awards of Distinction recognize exceptional fraternity collegiate chapters demonstrating excellence in operations, involvement in their fraternity/sorority and campus community, and a commitment to a positive fraternity experience. Just five chapters were selected this year.

“Delta Lambda is the benchmark for success for a small campus. Zeta Beta Tau is proud of this chapter and the way brothers are leaders in their fraternity community and operate with excellence and integrity,” said Fraternity Chief Executive Officer Libby Anderson, CAE.

ZBT at Monmouth College prioritizes strong leadership, enhances campus life, and consistently positions itself for both local and national recognition. While Delta Lambda has experienced the highs and lows familiar to all fraternities, consistent leadership and values-based education have led to consistent growth and stability. The success of ZBT stems from generations of dedicated individuals committed to improving the chapter, the college and the greater fraternity. ZBT brothers, both active and alumni, are highly engaged in campus life. Members are involved in student government, performing arts, athletics and residence life. Alumni brothers remain connected, holding key roles on the Alumni Board and Board of Trustees.

The Chapter strongly represents overall fraternal values and responsibilities, and demonstrates excellence in chapter operations, academics, service and interfraternalism. Congratulations, Delta Lambda.

Zeta Beta Tau recently marked this honor among the celebration at 2025 International Convention in New Orleans. A local celebration is planned as part of the Homecoming festivities in Monmouth on Friday, October 17. The awards presentation is at 3:30pm Central in Poling Hall, Morgan Room.
