Sorority women were rewarded last weekend for their hard work.

A group of 13 women from the Panhellenic Association traveled to Atlanta for the Southeastern Panhellenic Conference. They received the Scholarship Programming Award. Gary Wiser, coordinator of Greek affairs, was also rewarded, receiving the New Professional Adviser of the Year award, according to the press release.

Diane DeRosa-Reynolds, Kappa Delta sorority member, served as the special events coordinator at SEPC. Charley Pride, director of student activities and organizations, was an adviser of the SEPC board. Western also donated $4,000 to the conference charity, Camp Sunshine in Atlanta.

More than 1,200 women from 30 sororities and 76 universities attended the conference. The conference helps the women to become better leaders in their organizations and on campus. The conference focused issues pertaining to Greek life such as leadership, community service, recruitment, public relations and implementing change.

“Overall, the experience was truly rewarding and provided each of us with valuable tools to make a difference,” said Amy Demonbreun, Panhellenic Association president and member of Sigma Kappa sorority.
