Pitt-Johnstown fraternities and sororities took home awards from their summer conferences

Several individuals and organizations among the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown’s Fraternity Sorority Life Community took home awards from summer conferences. 

At the Acacia Fraternity biennial meeting in Kansas City, the Pitt-Johnstown chapter received a bronze level of distinction for their national Reach for Success Award, in addition to an excellence award for institutional relations and the President’s Award for the largest membership increase in their national organization in the past two years.

Jeremiah Dilts also received a $1,000 scholarship from the Acacia Fraternity Foundation for his contributions to campus life. Dilts graduated with an associate’s degree in respiratory therapy and is now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in health care management and supervision.

Jake Santo, a brother of Kappa Delta Rho and a nursing major, was also honored with a scholarship at his fraternity’s national convention in Chicago.

Pitt-Johnstown’s newest sorority, Delta Phi Epsilon, received an international award at their International Leadership Forum in Charlotte, North Carolina. The “Progress Plaque” is awarded to the chapter making the greatest progress in the areas of scholarship, chapter management, extracurricular activities and community service over the past two years.

Heather Hall, the director of campus activities and engagement at Pitt-Johnstown, was also recognized by the Sigma Tau Gamma national staff and leadership team for her work as fraternity sorority advisor.
