News: Greek Awards Recap (@VTIFC, @VT_Panhellenic)

What if we told you that Greeks could come together for one night, and recognize one another for both their achievements in the community, the classroom, and as individuals? Would you think it could be accomplished?

Well, that's exactly what took place this past Monday, (April 18th) in Burruss Hall. Virginia Tech's Greek Awards Show took place and several hundred greeks were in attendance as the university's Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, and National Pan-Hellenic Council honored the best and brightest of their respective organizations. The event served as a closing ceremony to Greek Week 2011, in which all three councils came together to benefit the Montgomery County Christmas Store, which serves low-income families in Montgomery County during the Christmas season. Key True Gentlemen winners from the night included, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, Phi Sigma Kappa, Delta Sigma Phi, Pi Kappa Phi, Omega Psi Phi, and more!
