The Alpha Rho Chi Gold Medal
The Gold Alpha Rho Chi Medal is awarded by the fraternity to honor an outstanding practitioner of architecture or an allied art. Originally created to honor an outstanding alumni brother who has offered extraordinary service to Alpha Rho Chi, the 37th National Convention voted to open up the qualifications for the Gold Medal to all professional architects. The Gold Medal is awarded by the Grand Council, with the approval of a majority of the chapters.
