Harvey H. Hebert Memorial Award

Presented at each National Convention, the Grand Council awards at least two Harvey H. Herbert Memorial Awards to alumni of the Fraternity who have performed an outstanding act for the good of the Fraternity or whose diligence and persevering work have made them worthy of the award. Recipients are selected by a committee of previous recipients appointed by the national president. It may be presented only to members who have been in good standing for at least ten (10) years.

The Hebert Awards were established in 1931 as a memorial to Harvey H. Hebert, Tulane 1921, an undergraduate who lost his life in a tragic automobile accident. At the time of his death, December 1, 1923, Herbert had served as president of his chapter, president of the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity and was first in his class academically. The Hebert Award was the highest honor in the Fraternity until the establishment of the Mr. Delta Sig Award in 1969.

Recipients of the Hebert Award receive both a mounted certificate and a medallion which is to be worn at formal fraternal events.
