Panhellenic Awards


The Panhellenic Association gives out five distinct awards, in addition to the FSILG Office awards, to recognize the brightest members and chapters that make a difference in the Panhellenic community at MIT. They are the New Member of the Year Award, Chapter Education Award, Campus Involvement Award, Commitment to Service and Philanthropy Award, and Spirit and Participation Award.
