Ed Leonard, chairman of the board of Lambda Chi Alpha, presented the award to the Union chapter.
鈥淭he brothers of Lambda-Zeta chapter at 51社区 are dedicated to being a model fraternity on their campus,鈥� Leonard said. 鈥淚n the last three years, they have maintained a high level of individual and campus involvement, community service, risk management practices and fraternal education.鈥�
