At the 53rd Grand Chapter Conclave in Texas, Elon's SigEp chapter was awarded the highest recognition any chapter can receive.
Every two years, Sigma Phi Epsilon holds a conference known as Conclave in which chapters around the nation meet, carry out legislation, listen to guest speakers and experience a variety of forums throughout this four day conference.
The Elon chapter traveled from all parts of the United States to Dallas where the 53rd Conclave was held July 31-Aug. 4, 2013.
One of the ceremonies was dedicated to giving out the Buchanan Cup award to the best chapters SigEp has to offer, and at this Conclave the Elon chapter was given its second Buchanan Cup.
Chapter leaders said that after only chartering in 2007, they are proud of how far they have come in such a short period and the recognition they have gained nationally.
