Buchanan Cup
1985 Colorado Gamma Buc Cup
The Buchanan Cup (Buc Cup) is Sigma Phi Epsilon's highest honor for outstanding chapter achievement. The award is presented at the bi-annual Grand Chapter Conclave to Sigma Phi Epsilon chapters who demonstrate excellence in all areas of chapter operations over the two-year period between Conclaves.
The award was first given in 1961 and it was officially named the Buchanan Cup in 1967 for Past Grand President & Treasurer Edwin T. Buchanan, Ohio Gamma, 1911.
The Buc Cup Trophy is a silver bowl engraved with the chapter name and year. Chapters who win the award five consecutive times receive a Gold Buc Cup for demonstrated excellence over a decade.
