Sigma Zeta Chapter at Indiana University Awarded Supreme Prior’s Trophy for Most Improved Chapter
September 2025– Sigma Alpha Mu is proud to recognize the Sigma Zeta Chapter at Indiana University as the recipient of the 2025 Supreme Prior’s Trophy, awarded annually to the most improved chapter in the Fraternity.
The Supreme Prior’s Trophy honors a chapter that demonstrates significant growth and positive transformation over the past academic year. At Indiana University, Sigma Zeta’s legacy is marked by resilience and a commitment to progress. While their Chapter Performance Report (CPR) scores improved dramatically on paper, their success extends beyond metrics. Sigma Zeta has focused on enhancing the member experience, strengthening relationships with the International Headquarters staff, their dedicated Chapter Advisor Paul Swartz, and Indiana University’s Fraternity and Sorority Life Office.
This year, Sigma Zeta stood out particularly in community involvement and philanthropy. The chapter hosted its Annual Ball at the Hall, raising more than $12,000 for the Lauri S. Bauer Foundation, and launched the inaugural Miles for Matt 5K run/walk, supporting the Matthew Friedman Memorial to advance brain aneurysm research and awareness.
“The Supreme Prior’s Trophy represents the power of dedication, collaboration, and growth,” said Executive Director Andy Huston. “Sigma Zeta has shown what can be achieved when chapters embrace their resources, commit to excellence, and strengthen their bonds within the campus and broader community.”
Join us in congratulating Sigma Zeta on this well-deserved recognition and celebrating their example of perseverance and achievement within the Fraternity.
