The Order of Omega and the Office of Residential Life hosted their annual Achievement Awards for members of the Greek community to a packed house at Collis Common Ground Tuesday afternoon.
"This year we had many exceptional nominations," said Greg LaMontagne '07, who served as one of the masters of ceremonies alongside Caroline Barker '07.
Students were given awards based on their achievements in each of six categories: accountability, inclusivity, leadership, scholarship, brotherhood/sisterhood and service.
"It was a wonderfully successful year within the Greek communities," said Dean of Residential Life Marty Redman, who presented the awards for accountability at the beginning of the ceremonies.
CFS Administrators Deborah Carney and Megan Johnson presented the awards for Greek Woman and Man of the Year which went to Order of Omega President Ali Levine '07 of Delta Delta Delta sorority and Inter-Fraternity Council President Alex Lentz '07 of Theta Delta Chi fraternity.
"The Greek Man and Woman of the year award honors those students who have given enormous energy to making the Greek community and the Dartmouth community at large a better place," Johnson said.
The 2007 O'Connor Award for excellence in each of the six principles of the CFS community, the last and most awaited award of the ceremony, went to Tri-Delt.
Carney and Johnson presented the award for President of the Year to Lorraine Buhannic '07 of Kappa Delta Epsilon and Michael Simoni '08 of Alpha Phi Alpha.
"The presidents do such an amazing job and often do not get recognized for their work," Johnson said.
Redman awarded the Outstanding Overall Improvement Award to Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity.
The award for Most Outstanding Organizations in the Principle of Accountability went to Alpha Theta co-ed fraternity for their initiatives in peer resources, officer training programs and financial management.
Bernard Haskell, assistant director of residential operations, presented Daniel Schneider '07 with the award for Most Outstanding House Manager, describing the position as the toughest job one can have in a Greek organization.
Haskell also presented the Sustainability Award to Caroline Burns '08 of Alpha Xi Delta sorority for her efforts in promoting a more energy-efficient and environmentally conscious Greek community.
