Brother Brian K. Long, a former three-time Basileus for Gamma Pi, received the Second District Superior Recognition Award from outgoing District Representative Bro. Kelvin Ampofo, for his many dedicated years as the District's first and only Chief of Staff. Bro. Long has served in this capacity for the past three District Representatives. 

Gamma Pi Chapter also won two big chapter awards at the District conference: Large Graduate Chapter of the Year for Retention and Large Graduate Chapter of the Year for Reclamation. 

The Super Chapter is also fresh off the prestigious award as the Large Graduate Chapter of the Year for the previous Fraternity Year, 2020-2021. That award was given at last year's virtual Second District Conference.
