Sorority and fraternity members recognized
with Heard Awards
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Outstanding members of Vanderbilt's sororities
and fraternities as well as individual Greek chapters were recognized during
presentation of the annual Alexander Heard Awards.
The Heard Awards program for excellence and outstanding achievement was
established in 1982 by the Panhellenic and Interfraternity councils in honor
of Chancellor Emeritus Alexander Heard and to encourage and recognize outstanding
achievement in the Greek system.
Individual Greek members and chapters are evaluated through an application
process that includes consideration of academic achievement, campus leadership
and involvement, community service and athletic participation. The goal
of the program is to recognize well-rounded individuals and chapters who
have contributed significantly to the quality and development of the Greek
system during the previous academic year.

home of Dean of Residential and Judicial Affairs K.C. Potter were Beta Theta

and English major in the College of Arts and Science; Kappa Kappa Gamma
member Elizabeth C. Tolva, a senior from Oak Brook, Ill., and a human and
organizational development major in Vanderbilt's Peabody College; Sigma

studies major in the College of Arts and Science; Sigma Nu member Dayton
Miller of Manchester, Md., and an economics major in the College of Arts
