It has been a great couple of years for Delta Kappa, receiving awards from both the fraternity headquarters and from Davidson College. At the 150th Anniversary Ekklesia in Pittsburgh, we received the John Templeton McCarty Chapter Proficiency Award for the 1997-98 academic year, the third year in a row in which we achieved this honor, recognizing efficiency in operations, adherence to Fraternity Laws, and promotion of the high standards of Phi Gamma Delta. We also walked away from the Ekklesia with the Certificate of Academic Achievement for 1997. On a more local scale, we received the Patterson Court Council Academic Award from the college, recognizing our consistently high chapter GPA as well as our efforts at maintaining academic excellence. These awards demonstrate the character and dedication of our undergraduate and graduate brothers, and foretell of an even greater future.
