Joseph E. Connor Memorial Award

The Joseph E. Connor Award was first given to brother Connor in 1952 for his outstanding devotion to the Fraternity and the communicative arts. Since then, to honor his memory, the fraternity has sought out men, who throughout a lifetime of service, have excelled in their chosen field and furthered the communicative arts on a national stage. The Connor Award is the Fraternity’s highest commendation. All recipients are inducted into Phi Alpha Tau and bestowed honorary brotherhood.
