Recognition is not only a pillar of our National Residence Hall Honorary chapter at Iowa State, but also a key aspect of regional and national involvement throughout the Midwest and across the country. Our chapter focuses on recognizing the actions of students and staff within the Residence Life community as they fulfill their roles in ways that further our community or demonstrate exemplary dedication to their position/role as a student.

The Rising Star Form was re-vamped throughout the 2024-2025 academic year as a way to increase recognition on campus and motivate our community to recognize a greater variety of students and staff. The Rising Star Form allows anyone to submit an act of kindness, notable completion of duties, or outstanding service, and will relay this information to those who the submission is about in order to congratulate them for the work they are doing. Additionally, the Director of Recognition and the Recognition Committee will choose Rising Star submissions to receive further recognition from the chapter.
