NEBRASKA WESLEYAN FRATERNITY
RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION

LINCOLN, Neb. — A fraternity at Nebraska Wesleyan University is being recognized nationally for its success.

The Omicron Chapter of Zeta Psi International Fraternity has been honored with the Award of Distinction from the North-American Interfraternity Conference. One of only three chapters in the United States receive this prestigious recognition. The chapter will be presented the award at their Founders Banquet in Lincoln on April 5th.

The chapter was selected from a very competitive pool of nominations. Of particular distinction was the chapter’s consistency of excellence throughout is history. The Omicron chapter has been recognized by its national organization with the top chapter designation for 10 out of the last 12 years.

The chapter was highly touted in its many nomination and recommendation letters. Zeta Psi Executive Director Richard Breeswine called the chapter "the benchmark of other chapter’s success."

The chapter’s nomination was also supported by Nebraska Wesleyan University President Jeanie Watson. President Watson commented on the "rich source of student leadership" that the chapter offers the school.

"This is a group with a long and strong tradition of involvement on our campus, and I believe that they deserve to be recognized for that effort," Watson said.
