Thanks for your willingness to participate in the Garatoni Building Better Men Program. This program has been consolidated with the Pyramid Program. Scoring for the Program is determined by three different factors— total Pyramid score (85%), a reflection summary (10%), and a letter of recommendation from an advisor (5%).

The application should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. You will need the following in order to submit a complete application:  
  1. A reflection summary (600 words maximum)

  • 2nd place and a $25,000.00 prize
  • Best New Chapter/Colony (also known as the Rattle Award) and a $25,000.00 prize 
This information will also be used to choose the winners for the National Fraternity Awards that are given out annually. These awards will be announced on social media and given out during the virtual convention this summer.  Below are the awards:
