Middaugh AwardsThe Middaugh Chapter Achievement Awards were
established to recognize outstanding programs and projects conducted by
the chapters. These awards are given in memory of W. Stephen Middaugh. Brother
Middaugh (Cornell, 1960) served as chancellor of the Cornell Chapter in
1961-62. In 1962, he received his bachelor's degree from the Cornell
and he went on to complete his MBA in 1963. He served 7 ½ years on the
High Council, first as High Chronicler and then as High Censor. In
1972, while serving his second term on the High Council, he passed away
at the age of 32. Brother Middaugh became noted for his
enthusiasm for and dedication to Alpha Zeta. During his time on the
High Council, he became known as a proponent of the "active" chapter, a
chapter that contributed to its campus, community and humanity.
Therefore, these awards were named in his honor. The purpose of
the awards is to: Recognize outstanding chapters for specific
achievements, encourage chapters to promote and keep accurate records
of projects, encourage alumni and chapter relations and promote group
spirit among chapters. The awards are selected on a national
basis at the biennial conclave. They are presented to Alpha Zeta
chapters for outstanding projects conducted during the prior two years.
A Chapter Activity Report must be submitted to the National Office
for each activity the chapter participates in or sponsors to be
eligible for an award. A committee consisting of alumni, chapter and
High Council representation selects the recipients of the awards. One
winner will be selected, with up to three honorable mentions at the
discretion of the committee. Middaugh Awards are given in seven categories: - Alumni Relations
- Chapter Development
- Promotion of Agriculture
- Service to College and Campus
- Service to Community
- Fundraising
- New member development
A
Chapter Activity Report should be completed for each project or
activity the chapter undertakes. Meetings do not need to be reported
unless the chapter holds a special activity during one. Some activities
can be grouped together, for example, report all pledging activities on
one form. The reports submitted by each chapter during the
biennium will be the documents used in selecting chapters for he
Middaugh Chapter Achievement Awards at the biennial conclave.
Therefore, it is important to list the objectives of the activity.
State if the primary purpose was alumni relations, chapter development,
promotion of agriculture and service to college/campus or service to
community. State the extent of the involvement of the chapter in
the activity. Did the chapter wholly or partially sponsor the activity?
Also, state the number of members, alumni and other people involved in
the activity. Attach any photographs, news articles or other pertinent materials to the report before it is submitted to the National Office. Fill out a Chapter Activity Report When completed send the report to the National Office. Mail: Alpha Zeta
