About the Grand Chapter Scholarship Award:

The Grand Chapter Scholarship Award, also known as the Stanford Trophy, is presented annually to the chapter with the most outstanding academic record for the previous calendar year. Originally gifted to the Grand Chapter in 1928 by Alpha Epsilon Chapter at Stanford University, the trophy symbolizes excellence in scholarship.

Winners are determined through a formula that compares chapter GPA to their campus’s all-men’s average, ensuring a fair evaluation across a wide range of institutions and grading systems.
