Each year at the John O. Moseley Leadership School, Sigma Alpha Epsilon recognizes its top chapters. Some are notable for their commitments to community service, some to scholarship and others to the ideals of the True Gentleman Initiative. But only one can take home the Fraternity’s top honor, the Zeal Award. The brothers from that chapter are the most outstanding examples of what our brotherhood can accomplish and take the principles of “The True Gentleman” to heart.
