After winning the Superior Chapter Award (Awarded by the International Fraternity to the runner up to best chapter in the country), we are now seeking out the Malcolm Award at this year's Biennial Conclave in Louisville, KY. The Malcolm Award is given to the best Acacia chapter in the nation. This would be an incredible honor and we are ready to win!
Our chapter was founded in 1906, and we just celebrated our 100 year anniversary at the University of Illinois. We are currently compiling records from the beginning of the chapter, as well as a 102 year history of the fraternity on the U of I campus. Any historical information or pictures can be emailed to our secretary Dee Taylor at dee.taylor12@gmail.com.
