Angelo State Business Prof Wins National Service Award

The Silver Helmet Award is presented to Delta Sigma Pi alumni with at least 25 years of membership and a record of support and service to the fraternity. Fewer than 500 Delta Sigma Pi alumni throughout the U.S. have received the award since it was initiated in 1979.

Randall has been a Delta Sigma Pi member since 1988 when she was initiated into ASU’s Eta Theta student chapter as an undergraduate. She has also been the faculty advisor for the ASU chapter for seven years and guided it to the 2017-18 National Most Improved Collegiate Chapter Award and the 2018-19 R. Nelson Mitchell National Outstanding Collegiate Chapter Award.

“A good chapter advisor can make a world of difference to a chapter and is one of our most important volunteer positions,” said Tricia Smith, grand president of Delta Sigma Pi. “So it is especially exciting to be able to present the Silver Helmet Award to one of our chapter advisors.”
