Achieving Chapter Excellence (ACE) Award

The ACE (Achieving Chapter Excellence) Awards Program was established in 1995. Chapters which document their support of the Society's mission at a superior level receive the ACE Award. Outstanding chapters are awarded the ACE Award at the Kappa Delta Pi Biennial Convocation. The ACE Award was presented to our Rho Gamma Chapter in 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2005.
