As the semester concludes, it’s also a chance to look back and recognize the legacy and ongoing accomplishments of our fraternity and sorority communities.

Last week, we celebrated the 2026 Student Involvement Awards – honoring the excellence of individual student leaders and groups across campus. Each winner provides an outstanding example of how to get involved and make a difference. Mizzou’s fraternity and sorority organizations had an incredible showing and walked away with many top recognitions, including:

 • Fraternity Chapter of the Year: Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.

• Sorority Chapter of the Year: Delta Delta Delta

• Service Program of the Year: Alpha Gamma Sigma Homecoming 2025 Service Campaign

• New Program of the Year: Smash-a-Car by Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. x Sigma Phi Epsilon

• Community Building Program of the Year: Sisterhood United | Cross-council collaborative event

I also attended the recent 140^th Anniversary celebration of Sigma Nu, Rho Chapter. The chapter is among the oldest on campus and has a deep history of accomplished alumni, including Rich Kinder, who with his wife Nancy established the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy, and current Chapter Advisor Dave Baker.

For generations of Tigers, our fraternity and sorority communities have provided opportunities for involvement and connection. It’s a legacy that unites alumni to current students while advancing a shared commitment to service at Mizzou and throughout the community.
