Selection Procedure

The recipient will be selected on the basis of his or her qualifications and contributions as explained in the nomination sheets by a committee composed of:

1. The presidents of Black Greek Council, Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, and The United Greek Council.
2. One representative from BFA and one from BSA.
