William L. Crump Award

The William L. Crump History Award is one of eight national honors presented by Kappa Alpha Psi at its annual or bi-annual Grand Chapter meetings. It was established in 1991 at the 70th Grand Chapter Meeting in Orlando, Florida, by 26th Grand Polemarch Ulysses S. McBride. The award is named after William L. Crump, a former Grand Historian and the 7th recipient of the Elder Watson Diggs Award. The award was first presented in 1991 at the 70th Grand Chapter in Orlando, Florida.

The William L. Crump Award is bestowed upon undergraduate members, alumni members, undergraduate chapters, or alumni chapters who demonstrate a depth of knowledge of the fraternity's history, and a commitment to preserving its legacy. Recipients are selected based on petitions submitted to the Achievement Commission, a 13-member committee appointed by the Grand Polemarch. No more than four awards can be granted during any Grand Chapter session.
