Greek Community Awarded for Achievements
Posted on April 25, 2019
The Office of Greek Life at the University of South Alabama honored sorority and fraternity members for outstanding service, leadership and academic achievement at the recent 2018-2019 Greek Awards Banquet.
"The impact of the combined hours and value contributed in service by our Greek community for the 2018-2019 academic year was truly amazing,” said Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Cathi Jones. “When you look at the valued rate of $22.28 per hour, our Greek community’s total economic value for philanthropic hours is almost $650,000 with over 100 agencies impacted through our contributions. We are giving back in a big way!"
The awards ceremony recognized the fraternities and sororities who are members of the Interfraternity (IFC), College Panhellenic (CPC) and National Pan-Hellenic (NPHC) councils for their academics, membership, service and campus involvement.
Numerous awards were presented, highlighted by the Dean’s Cup, which is the highest honor given to Greek-letter organizations at South. The recipients for the 2018-2019 year are Chi Omega of CPC, Alpha Phi Alpha of NPHC and Sigma Chi of IFC.
