Founders’ Award
For outstanding performance in all categories, this prestigious award is presented to the Fraternity of Alpha Kappa Lambda’s most outstanding chapter in all areas of performance. Consideration of recruitment performance, financial management, campus leadership, risk management, scholarship, and community service are but a few of the areas examined in determining the recipient of AKL’s highest award.
