This award is named in honor of W. T. “Bill” Hembree, Pittsburg State ‘41, the Sig Tau leader whose more than 50 years of service is so significant his name has become synonymous with Sig Tau leadership. The Founders of the early chapters of Sig Tau were campus leaders first, and many current chapters continue to uphold this tradition.

When visiting a chapter of Sig Tau, it is expected to find among its members a president of the Student Government Association, chairman of the Student Activities Board, or a student representative to the University Governing Board. Members of Sig Tau present themselves around campus as athletic team captains, mentors and tutors, orientation leaders, and so much more.

This award recognizes chapters whose members are actively involved in campus organizations outside of the chapter, including campus-wide activities, events, clubs and teams, as well as National Sig Tau programs for leadership development and member enrichment.
