At Triangle Fraternity’s 2026 National Convention, we were honored to bring home awards for our work this past year, and are excited to highlight these accolades! First up, we are honored to share that Triangle’s Chapter President of the Year was awarded to Nolan Zimmerman🏆
Nolan joined Triangle in the Fall of 2022 and was an involved member of the Sorority and Fraternity Community - Iowa State University. He served our Chapter as Summer Recruitment Chair, Philanthropy Chair, Yell Like Hell Co-Chair, and in 2025 as our President. In addition to his involvement in Triangle, he served on the Engineering Leaders of Tomorrow Conference Executive Board for Iowa State University - College of Engineering as well as a Peer Mentor for the national organization.
The 2026 Executive Board shared more about Nolan: “Under Nolan’s leadership, we passed the threshold of 100 members, raised record amounts of money for our philanthropy, and strengthened our academic expectations for members. Nolan served as our President as a Junior/Senior, providing an older perspective with more experience, which was incredibly beneficial for the Executive Team at large. Nolan won’t ask you to do anything he isn’t willing to do himself. If there’s a service event at 8 AM that we need members to attend, he will be there. If there was an important Alumni or stakeholder event we needed a presence at, he would drive there and represent Triangle. When it was time to mulch the yard, Nolan was outside scooping mulch and directing others how they could help. The concept of motivating the middle is something that Iowa State pushes heavily in their programming. We don’t think Nolan focused on motivating the middle, he focused on engaging every single member along the way, and elevating them.”
Thank you, Nolan, for your commitment to our chapter and advancing Triangle across the nation. We are so grateful for all you have done for us!
