Greek Awards Night Shines Light on Impressive Accomplishments

Kappa Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha Named Outstanding Greek Organizations Wilmington College’s Greek Life awards program Thursday (April 23) provided indisputable evidence that fraternity and sorority members are at the forefront of leadership in academics, service and philanthropy at Wilmington College. Consider these facts: five Greek organizations had a cumulative membership grade point average of 3.0 or better for the spring 2014 and/or fall 2014 semesters and 122 individuals were named to the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better for the past spring and/or fall semesters. That group also included 21 members with perfect 4.0 averages.
