List of Tau Chapter Sweethearts
The following individuals have been recognized as the Tau Chapter Sweetheart. For a complete listing of award descriptions and winners, see List of Tau Chapter Awards.
This title is given to a Tau-in-Law, a significant other or friend of a Brother, who has actively supported Tau Chapter. This award is named after Clauda Pennock Todd for her endless love and support for Phi Sigma Pi. Originally, all male fraternities would sponsor a 'Sweetheart' to represent them in Homecoming and other campus festivities. Prior to becoming a coed fraternity, Tau Chapter would vote annually to sponsor a Sweetheart, usually one of the Brother's close female friends. In recent years, Tau Chapter has received a tremendous amount of support from non-Brothers. Therefore, the Chapter decided to revive this distinction. Potential candidates are nominated and then discussed. After discussion, Brothers vote and the candidate with the most votes wins.
