Distinguished Service Award
The Distinguished Service Award was created by the National Council in the Spring of 2010 in order to honor the service provided by our many volunteers such as Counselors, Committee members, and Board of Trustees members. The first pins were presented to three retiring District Counselors, Chris Gordon, Wendy McCann, and Kris Wright during the 2010 District Convention Season. This is not an award that is applied for; instead, it is an honor bestowed upon individuals for their Service to the Sorority by the National Council.
