The Cheney Cup is awarded to the undergraduate chapter which demonstrates the greatest all-around efficiency in scholarship, fraternity relationships, and general collegiate activities. It was presented to the Fraternity at the 65th Ekklesia in 1913 by Archon President Orion H. Cheney (New York 1897).

The Cup was designed by Tiffany and Co., New York. Around the rim is the inscription, "Awarded each year to the chapter of Phi Gamma Delta attaining the highest efficiency in the conduct of its affairs."
