Awards Given by Zeta Beta - Best Pledge/Spirit Award

Picture
In 1970, the brothers of Zeta Beta voted to give a Best Pledge Award to recognize any outstanding members of a pledge class.  In 1990 this award was discontinued because the fraternity felt that every member of each pledge class was deserving of the award, and that individual recognition would hinder pledge class unity.  

In 1994, an award similar to Best Pledge Award was created, and was designed to recognize the pledge showing the most enthusiasm, leadership, service, and friendship in a pledge class, and was named the Spirit Award.  Donnie Hall was the first recipient of this award in the fall of 1994, followed by Heather Lifsey in Spring 1995 and Ann Carter Lammay in Fall 1995.  After that semester, this award was discontinued.

However, in recent years, Brothers have brought back the Spirit Award. The recipients of this award are listed on this page.
