Missouri State University’s Theta Chi (Iota Beta) chapter was awarded the Award of Distinction by the North–American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) for the fourth time. The chapter previously received the award in 2008, 2012 and 2014.

The award “recognizes the undergraduate chapter which is highly functioning, in compliance with NIC standards, seeks to educate others about the benefits of a values-based fraternity experience and works to maintain a healthy relationship with their international organization.”

MSU Theta Chi was selected for the individual excellence of its members, student body president, orientation leaders, Interfraternity Council (IFC) executive board members and Student Government Association cabinet members. The chapter also has the top fraternity GPA on campus with a 3.18 average, and since its installation in 1999 has received the fraternity’s most prestigious award, the Howard R. Alter, Jr. Award, a record 12 times.
