| Previous to receiving the
recognition, Lori Sowash, the Ordinance Enforcement Officer, met
with the active brotherhood and interviewed many of our surrounding neighbors.
Mrs. Sowash felt, after dealing daily with the problems of other
Fraternities, that we deserved special recognition for being an
"example Fraternity." |

| The Proclamation
and a picture of the active brothers who were present to receive the
award can be found on display in the Chapter Room. The House
received a framed version of the Proclamation and each of the actives
received their own copy. Thank you to Dr. Strauss for providing
the picture of the brothers receiving the award.
Much thanks to Br. Adam Heggenstaller for
providing an article that summed the history, traditions, and values of
Tau Phi Delta used in describing the Fraternity to the other members of
the Borough Council.
