Honors & Awards
Triangle's National Awards recognize active chapters, undergraduate borthers, and alumni for their accomplishments, improvements, and achievements
Chapter Awards
Chapter of the Year
The achievement of scholarship, leadership, service, and brotherhood is the ultimate goal of the fraternal experience. Triangle National Fraternity will be proud to recognize the chapter that excels in all of the award areas, especially in the five areas of scholarship, programming, leadership, philanthropy/community service, and the promotion of brotherhood.
Outstanding Chapter Operations
Several pieces go into making a fraternity successful. The Outstanding Chapter Operations Award recognizes the chapter with the structure in place to offer its members an organized, holistic fraternal experience.
Outstanding Recruitment & Retention by a Chapter
Recruitment is the lifeblood of our organization. Chapters that strive to recruit a higher quantity and quality of members into their chapters flourish. Recruitment should be the responsibility of every member and should occur 365 days a year.
The recipient of the Outstanding Recruitment & Retention by Chapter Award facilitates a recruitment program in which chapter values are exemplified through chapter events and all chapter members are engaged in the recruitment of new members. Additionally, the chapter works hard to ensure that potential new members are aware of the requirements and expectations which will assist in the retention of all new members.
National Involvement by a Chapter
The Outstanding National Involvement by a Chapter Award recognizes a chapter engaged with the National Fraternity through open communication, attendance at National events, and participation in National programs.
The Kahlert Academic Excellence Awards
As with most fraternal organizations, academic achievement serves as a core value and founding principle of Triangle Fraternity and should be a primary focus for both the chapter and the individual. While it is acknowledged that Triangle active chapters have a myriad of membership responsibilities it is important to recognize the most important responsibility to not only Triangle, but to self, chapter, and community: academics.
The Triangle Education Foundation with the generous support of the Kahlert Foundation will recognize the chapter’s academic achievements annually in two categories: Outstanding Academic Excellence (Highest GPA), and Most Improved Academic Excellence.
Outstanding Risk Reduction & Education
An effective Risk Management Program is essential to any chapter’s survival. The recipient of this award has established a program that successfully balances the many risks involved in the day-to-day functions of running a fraternity.
Outstanding Campus Involvement
An integral part of being Greek is recognizing our ability to affect change within the community in which we live. By choosing to become involved in activities outside of our regular chapter activities we are doing our part to strengthen the community, the campus, and the positive image of Greeks as contributors to the betterment of our community.
Outstanding Philanthropy & Service by a Chapter
As fraternity men, it is important for us to never lose sight of the fact that our able minds, hearts, and hands can make wonderful things happen for our community, both locally and nationally. Triangle Fraternity is proud to recognize a chapter that has demonstrated the most comprehensive and interactive community service and philanthropic giving to their communities.
Individual Undergrad Awards
Chapter President of the Year
Awarded to a chapter president who not only fulfilled the responsibilities of his position but led with integrity and values through even the most challenging situations.
Senior of the Year
Awarded to a senior member who has remained actively involved and engaged within their chapter and who has served as a role model or mentor to younger members.

Awarded to the brother who clearly lives the values of the Code of Ethics of Triangle through his daily actions.
Executive Board Member of the Year
Awarded to an individual who most recently served on his chapter’s executive board and who made a lasting impact that contributed to the success of the chapter.
Chapter Advisor of the Year
The Chapter Advisor of the Year Award recognizes an involved advisor who is vital to the success of a chapter and the Fraternity. One of the major factors in a chapter’s long-term success is the commitment and influence of a talented chapter advisor and this award provides recognition for such an individual for his contributions to a chapter within the past academic year.
Outstanding Engineer, Architect, Scientist
The Oustanding Engineer, Architect, Scientist Award was created to recognize the time and effort given by an undergraduate to his academic discipline. The award emphasizes the attributes of an undergraduate’s commitment to his major during his college career.
Outstanding Philanthropy & Service by an Individual
As fraternity men, it is important for us to never lose sight of the fact that our able minds, hearts, and hands can make wonderful things happen for our community, both locally and nationally. Triangle Fraternity is proud to recognize the member that has demonstrated the most comprehensive and interactive community service and philanthropic giving to their communities.
Individual Alumni Awards
Cap Henning ill16 Altruism Award
The Cap Henning Altruism Award is intended to recognize alumni of Triangle Fraternity who have made an exemplary contribution to a better world through one or more of the following: contribution of time and energy to an altruistic cause not related to his profession; contribution of a members time and energy using his professional skills for an altruistic cause.
Any member of Triangle may nominate a Triangle alumnus for the Cap Henning Altruism Award. The nomination shall be written and shall include a summary of the individual’s contributions. The Cap Henning Altruism Award shall be awarded upon a majority vote by the members of the National Council.
Caspar Ferdinand “Cap” Henning ill16, the namesake of this honor, washed dishes in order to attend the University of Illinois his freshman year. The following year (1916), with an assist from home, he joined Triangle Fraternity. After graduation, Cap worked for a Chicago consulting firm, and in 1923, registered at the Moody Bible Institute where he graduated four years later. He moved careers to the Manufacturers Mutual Fire Insurance Company where he worked as a mechanical engineer. When he retired from Manufacturers Mutual in 1965 he was the vice president of the company. Before he retired, Cap worked at his office during the day, then after-hours at the Pacific Garden Mission and Gideons International. The Mission served as a shelter in a rough section of Chicago. Cap served those who attended the shelter – some homeless, some women and children, some seeking refuge because of family troubles – by giving them something to eat for free, provided a clean bed, and a fresh change of clothing. While at the Mission, Cap ministered to the bodies, minds, and souls of those who sought shelter. He quickly advanced to the board of Pacific Garden Mission. Prior to his death, Cap served as Chairman of the Board of the Mission and devoted his career to serving those in need.
