Grand President Crowning Glory Award

The Grand President Crowning Glory Award was created by Grand President Song You in 2009 to provide recognition to Brothers who have demonstrated outstanding service for the Fraternity. Simply thanking these dedicated Brothers was not seen as enough. Providing pins of recognition show the Fraternity’s appreciation for their work – every time they wear it. Each Grand President may recognize approximately 10 to 15 Brothers with this award and pin at Grand Council. The logo of the pin is projected as the pins are awarded during the banquet.
