The Link Chapter Award is a part of the Edward H. McCune Distinguished Chapter program. It recognizes all chapters which meet the basic criteria of the Fraternity's Mission through appropriate processes and goals. To understand the awards program properly, one must view it not as recognition for a single event or year. Rather, it should be viewed as a total quality management program for all chapters, characterized by an annual recognition of the distinguished chapters. The process of completing the application form will help any chapter to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses and thus, properly plan for the future.
Recognition is given to all chapters which meet or exceed the Basic Chapter Quality Criteria.
These chapters will be know as the Edward H. McCune Distinguished Link Chapters. Criteria for the award include both organizational process and goal attainment measures. Edward H.
