The Thomas A. Gehring Chapter Excellence Awards

    The Congress of 1980 authorized the awarding of the Thomas A. Gehring Chapter Excellence Awards as a tribute to the late Dr. Thomas A. Gehring, Iota Delta '60, a former Grand Council Officer. Each year these awards are presented to Chi Phi's most outstanding and most improved chapters based on the Fraternity's Standards for Chapter Excellence. Long term planning, goal setting, and unwavering standards are at the core of any Gehring Chapter.
