 Recognition


  Pi Delta Psi National is pleased to announce that we offer two scholarships to brothers who have either achieved high academic excellence or who have dedicated their services to the fraternity as well as the community. These individuals will have shown their dedication and have exemplified what it means to be a brother of Pi Delta Psi. Scholarships will be offered each academic year. The recipient of these awards will also receive $250. To be considered for candidacy for these two awards, the president of each school must submit a letter of intent for their nominees at the end of each year. Each school must include documentation and an explanation as to why each of these individuals should be considered. Best of luck to all.
 


The Pi Delta Psi Academic Award
The Pi Delta Psi Academic Award is awarded to the individual who has achieved the highest academic excellence. As one of the four pillars of this fraternity, academic achievement is an important goal we strive to achieve. Through education we can help educate others and ourselves on the different Asian ethnicities, allowing us to overcome the obstacles set forth, therefore unifying us as a whole.


The Pi Delta Psi Award (aka The Odie Award)
On the evening of Sunday, December 10th, 2000, David Wei Meng a.k.a. Odie of Cornell University passed away unexpectedly. David was an exemplary brother, a loving son, and a great friend. His dedication and love for the fraternity brought Pi Delta Psi to new levels during the short time that he was a brother. In honor of Odie's life, the fraternity, along with other Asian greeks, has established the Odie Award, also referred to as the Pi Delta Psi Award.

The Pi Delta Psi Award is awarded to an individual who has exemplified what it means to be a brother of Pi Delta Psi. This particular individual will have shown exceptional dedication to the fraternity, as well as his outstanding contribution to the community. He will have shown the conduct of an honorable man and the poise of a great role model. It is a true honor for us to acknowledge a brother's dedication to the fraternity by presenting this award as a small token of appreciation, showing him what a true inspiration he is to us all.
