By Rebecca Oettinger | November 11, 1993

The Office of Residential Life honored Greek houses for community service and other achievements Monday night at the eighth annual Co-ed, Fraternity and Sorority Award Ceremony. Co-ed Fraternity Sorority Council President Mark Daly '94 and the CFSC executive committee helped ORL present five awards in areas such as leadership, scholarship, recycling and community service. "This is done in recognition of good work which sometimes goes overlooked in co-ed, fraternity and sorority organizations," said Dean of Residential Life Mary Turco. She said the awards presentation is "an opportunity to say thanks and congratulate students that have tried to lead organizations and address the College's hopes that these social organizations will support rather than confound the academic purpose of the College." The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the O'Connor Cup, which ORL awarded to Delta Delta Delta sorority for the house's outstanding achievement in the areas of leadership, scholarship and programming in 1993. The award was presented by Hanover Police Officer Christopher O'Connor in memory of his father Proctor John O'Connor.
