OUTSTANDING PEOPLE OF UTC

The UTC Chapter (Beta Beta) of Alpha Delta Pi was recognized with the Golden Lion Hall of Fame Award, the sorority’s highest honor for chapter excellence, during Alpha Delta Pi’s 175th Anniversary Grand Convention in Palm Desert, California, on June 20, 2026. The recognition comes during a milestone year for Beta Beta as the chapter celebrates the 100th anniversary of its founding in 1926. Beta Beta first earned the prestigious award in 2024 and was recognized again in 2026 for its continued excellence in academics, leadership, member development, campus involvement, philanthropy, and overall chapter operations. Of Alpha Delta Pi’s 149 active collegiate chapters nationwide, 55 were eligible for consideration this year, and only 15 received the Golden Lion Hall of Fame Award, placing UTC’s chapter among the organization’s top-performing chapters.
