University of New Orleans Gives Out Greek Awards
The University of New Orleans celebrated Greek Life this spring bestowing honors on members of its fifteen fraternities and sororities, as well as chapters, who exemplified outstanding scholarship, character and leadership.
Greek Life is an important and growing part of campus life, said Dale O'Neill, coordinator of student involvement and leadership programs. Members are required to belong to other student organizations and attain certain GPAs. Each fraternity and sorority also chooses an organization to sponsor as its "philanthropy," increasing charitable efforts and volunteerism on campus.
The Greek Awards ceremony was held Wednesday, April 24 in the University Center ballroom. The following awards were presented:
