The Dallas Alumni Award is presented annually to the outstanding undergraduate chapter that promotes the teachings of The Bond among the alumni and ensures “membership in Phi Delta Theta is not a mere campus interlude, but a Fraternity for Life.”
 
Honorable Mention: Nova Scotia Alpha (Dalhousie University)
This year, the brothers of Nova Scotia Alpha at Dalhousie University did a fantastic job by keeping alumni up-to-date with happenings of the chapter as well as reaching out to alumni who had become unengaged. Two newsletters, an annual alumni banquet, and bi-monthly alumni luncheons have fostered a positive relationship between the chapter and the alumni in the area. 

Winner: Texas Epsilon (Texas Tech University)

The brothers of Texas Epsilon at Texas Tech University have a first-rate track record of cultivating alumni relations and engaging alumni long after they have graduated. Along with sending a newsletter each semester, this chapter sends a multitude of additional correspondence including invitations to homecoming events, Founders Day celebrations and fund raising brochures. Perhaps most impressive is the ongoing updates of their alumni database that demand the expenditures of both time and money. Alumni continue to stay involved in the chapter by supporting a large advisory board that meets regularly and attending tailgate events.  This chapter’s track record within the realm of alumni relations is impeccable, as they do not rest on their laurels and constantly look to build on their success.
