Student Achievements

Kappa Psi receives three awards at the Grand Council Convention

The Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity, Inc. Brothers met on July 18 for the 60th Grand Council Convention. Campbell’s Delta Lambda chapter received three awards: the Community Impact Award, Collegiate Award, and Innovation Award. The Community Impact Award is presented to the Collegiate Chapter whose participation in local philanthropy was creative, unique, and impactful. Delta Lambda participated in 16 service events throughout the year with a total of 394 Brother hours donated. The Collegiate Award is given to the top performing chapters. Chapters must receive greater than 85% of total points on their chapter progress report form. The Innovation Award for New Member Recruitment and Education is presented to a collegiate chapter whose new member programming was innovative and represented the ideals of the Fraternity. The Delta Lambda chapter developed new activities and events with multiple contingency plans as the COVID-19 pandemic still had a strong influence on the state and University. Students participated in innovative, philanthropic and service focused events. “As a chapter, we hold ourselves to a very high standard. We are constantly striving to make an impact both on campus and in our community. Receiving these awards was an immense honor and was only possible because of every single member’s dedication to bettering the Brotherhood and the profession of pharmacy,” concluded Kappa Psi President,
