Cyril F. “Duke” Flad Outstanding Undergraduate Award
This year’s recipient of the Cyril F. “Duke” Flad Outstanding Undergraduate Award is Brother Jean Pierre Vilcherrez from Epsilon-Omega Zeta at University of Miami in Florida.
Brother Vilcherrez’ many accomplishments as an undergraduate are almost too numerous to list. In addition to maintaining a 3.62 cumulative grade point average, he has served his Chapter as High Tau, House Manager, Recruitment Team Captain, and High Theta.
The honors he has received include being on the Dean’s List three times, being on the Provost’s Honor Roll two times, and being recognized with the William W. Sandler Jr. IFC Fraternity Man of the Year award.
In terms of campus involvement, he has served as President of the Order of Omega Honor Society, in the Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity, as an Orientation Leader, as Co-Programming Chair of the Association of Greek Letter Organizations, as a committee member of the Student Government Association, and as a Graduate Assistant in the Miami Hebert Business School.
Brother Vilcherrez is a key leader who helped turn around a Chapter that struggled with operations and recruitment, and he helped them become one of Lambda Chi Alpha’s best chapters. He is recognized for his outstanding ability to balance the demands of the fraternity with his academic success and his significant leadership roles in many areas of campus life. Those who nominated him noted the contributions he has made, and continues to make, to instill the values of Lambda Chi Alpha in the Chapter’s operations and as a mentor to new members, thus ensuring long term continuity of the Zeta.
