AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

The Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) Awards recognize the achievements of the leaders and organizations in the FSL community. The Awards reception, typically held at the end of the Spring semester, celebrates the work of the award recipients, graduating seniors, advisors, alumni, and University staff.

The staff selected awards highlight the student leaders, campus partners, and programs that the OFSL staff has the most contact with.

The nominated awards are separated into three categories (Unitas, Veritas, and Caritas) to align with Villanova’s shared values and Augustinian foundation. Nominations are submitted through an online form by members and stakeholders of the FSL community. Nominations are reviewed by a committee of students and staff to determine the recipients of that year.
