Georgetown's annual Greek Banquet took place Sunday, April 20.
This program is designed to recognize outstanding achievements of individual chapter members and Greek organizations, all of which were well represented for the evening of honors. A selection committee of faculty, administrators and students of the college reviewed the applications and made the decisions.
The Greek Athletic Spirit Award, recognizing the Greek organization which had the highest attendance at selected Georgetown athletic events, went to Alpha Gamma Delta and Kappa Alpha. Awards for Greek Week were also given, with Kappa Alpha fraternity winning Greek Week and Greek Games. Sigma Kappa won Greek Week and Alpha Gamma Delta won Greek Games. The Greek God and Goddess of Greek Week were also named: Blaine Bailey of Kappa Alpha and Jessica Portwood of Alpha Gamma Delta.
The Order of Omega initiated several new members and awarded two scholarships to current members Katy Thompson of Alpha Gamma Delta and Stephanie Carlisle of Kappa Delta.
The Scholarship Cup, an honor for the sorority and fraternity chapters with the highest overall GPA, went to Sigma Kappa and Lambda Chi Alpha.
Outstanding scholars, Greek students from all organizations who achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, were also recognized. As a whole, Greek students have attained a higher GPA than campus-wide GPA. Taylor Rains of Lambda Chi Alpha and Katy DeHart of Alpha Gamma Delta were named Outstanding Senior Scholars.
Kappa Delta and Kappa Alpha received the Community Service Cup for having the highest number of community service hours for a sorority or fraternity at Georgetown.
The philanthropy award went to Kappa Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha for raising the most money for their respective philanthropies.
Phi Mu and Lambda Chi Alpha were honored with awards celebrating the highest collegiate involvement, while Alpha Gamma Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha received honors for outstanding educational programming this year.
Sigma Kappa's Emily Kerrick and Lambda Chi Alpha's Derek Sword were each named Varsity Athlete of the Year.
Jennifer Martin, a member of Alpha Gamma Delta, was named Sorority Woman of the Year while Charley Grant, a member of Kappa Alpha, received the title of Fraternity Man of the Year.
Fraternity and Sorority advisers of the year were also announced at Greek Banquet, with Dr. Adela Borallo-Solís of Phi Kappa Tau and Amy Thaxton of Kappa Delta receiving the honors.
The President's Cup, the ceremony's highest honor, is awarded based on several factors including scholarship, educational programming, community service, philanthropy and collegiate involvement. This year's recipients were Kappa Delta and Lamba Chi Alpha.
