Who received the Fifty Year Membership award during the Golden Jubilee?

• A. Borradaile and Shideler
• B. Miami University
• C. Phi Tau Circle
• D. Ritual Creators

Answer: (A)

Long-time membership honors in Phi Kappa Tau recognize members who have reached milestone years of membership. At the Golden Jubilee, the Fifty Year Membership award highlighted individuals who have remained part of the fraternity for fifty years, celebrating enduring commitment to the brotherhood. The recipients were Borradaile and Shideler. This award reflects the fraternity's appreciation for members who have sustained active participation, mentorship, and service over decades. Since the other options refer to a university, a circle, or a group rather than people, they don't fit the nature of the award, which is conferred on individuals who reach the fifty-year mark.
