HIGH POINT, N.C., July 15, 2009 – Kappa Delta sorority at High Point University has something to cheer about – the chapter was recently given prestigious awards at the Kappa Delta 2009 National Convention.
The chapter received the Achievement Award and the Academic Excellence Award at the convention, held June 27 through July 1 in Orlando, Fla. Kappa Delta President Brittany Loomis, Treasurer Jean Morrow and chapter member Margaux Cote were on-hand to accept the awards.
The Achievement Award means the chapter is one of the top 30 chapters in the nation. Chapters that win this award meet a variety of criteria, including maintaining a high level of campus prestige and involvement, hold an annual “Shamrock” event, maintain a high chapter grade point average and more.
The Academic Excellence Award recognizes chapters that equal or exceed the all-women’s average on their campus, and rank first or in the top 20 percent in the Panhellenic ranking.
“I loved having the opportunity to represent our chapter at the National Convention,” Loomis says. “I’m so proud of all the work everyone has done to maintain our high caliber of class and excellence. I had an amazing time and learned a lot, and am so excited to share all of the great news and information with the chapter this fall.”
