While potential criteria for the award are as varied as our brotherhood, general criteria include years of service, type of service, and significant achievements. In 1938, the special award of Delta Beta Xi was created by the Grand Council to honor those men who have given outstanding service to the Fraternity; one hundred brothers were selected when the award was created. In each subsequent year, up to ten men may be selected to receive the Delta Beta Xi Award. This unusual and single honor recalls the period from 1864 to 1875 when members of Delta Beta Xi secretly pledged their allegiance to Alpha Sigma Phi. Their courage kept the traditions of the Fraternity alive despite a faculty ban on the organization. MEMBERS-AT-LARGE BETA CHAPTER Burns, LTC (Ret.)
