Alpha Upsilon, Alpha Sigma Bring Home National Awards

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity Inc. held its 32nd Anniversary Banquet, concluding the National Convention in San Francisco and bestowing two AZNM chapters with awards.

Chapter of the Year, the highest honor given to a chapter, was awarded to Alpha Upsilon Chapter of the University of New Mexico, the third time in the chapter's ten year history. Among the many events the chapter posted in the last year, highlights included raising $1,200 for the Peruvian Relief Effort, and their extensive mentorship program.

Undergraduate Brother of the Year, an award recognizing one undergraduate brother's contribution in the areas of leadership, scholarship and brotherhood, went to Arizona State University's Alpha Sigma Chapter President, James Randall. In addition to his leadership within the fraternity, Brother Randall was also recognized for his significant contributions to S.T.E.P. through leadership and service.

Congratulations to all AZNM brothers for a successful inaugural year as a unified Arizona and New Mexico sector. These awards are surely just the beginning of a bright future.
