Kappa Psi Awards

    • Asklepios Key - The Asklepios Key, introduced in 1946, was designed as a special award to be presented by a chapter to its members for outstanding achievements. Although the chapter has always been able to establish its own standards in the selection of recipients for this award it is recommended primarily for excellence in scholarship. The cost of the key, approximately $295.00 (US), is born by the chapter and may be obtained from The Central Office or by using the online Kappa Psi Shop.

    • Frank H. Eby Award - The Frank H. Eby Award was approved and adopted by the Executive Committee during the Executive Committee Meeting held in Scottsdale, Arizona, September 28-29, 1978. The award was designed to replace the Frank H. Eby Educational Fund Award, which was discontinued in 1971. The award is presented every two (2) years at the Grand Council Convention to the Collegiate Brother who has contributed the most to Kappa Psi. The award is funded by using the interest accumulated from the Frank H. Eby Endowment Fund. Each Collegiate Chapter has the opportunity to nominate one (1) member for the award. To be eligible for nomination, the nominee must be an active member of a Collegiate Chapter or an alumni member up to one year after graduation.

    • Grand Regent’s Letter - The Grand Regent's Letter of Recognition may be requested by any member, Chapter, or Province as a form of recognition for distinctive service and/or dedication by a brother and is awarded at the expense of the Grand Council.

    • W. Bruce Phillip Certificate of Commendation - The Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity Certificate of Commendation, which is even more prestigious than the Letter of Recognition, may be requested by any Chapter or Province in recognition of important or conspicuous service or achievement by a brother in the interest of the Fraternity or Profession. This certificate shall be issued at the discretion of the Grand Regent and is produced at the expense of the Grand Council.
