Perfect for families and sports lovers—another chance to reconnect and celebrate our chapter’s rich history.

Choose one or choose both—we would love to welcome you home to the Pi Palace!

While we count down to these exciting celebrations, take a stroll down memory lane and enjoy ADPi through the years.

Golden Lion Award

Beta Alpha is working hard to achieve this recognition by Executive Office. We have, once again, been nominated to receive this award. 

Golden Lion is determined by nomination and completion of a qualitative application. A chapter is automatically nominated for Golden Lion when it earns at least 7 of 10 Programming Excellence Awards each year of the biennium. Golden Lion nominee chapters will be announced at ADPi Academy. Nominated chapters will be invited to complete a qualitative application of 5 questions to be considered for Golden Lion. An appointed team will review all Golden Lion applicants and narrow the list to the most outstanding chapters. Golden Lion is awarded only once per biennium during Grand Convention.
