GROVE CITY, Pa. – The Grove City College Alpha Theta Mu chapter of Mortar Board has been honored with a Silver Torch Award for excellence by the national organization.
The Grove City chapter was one of 67 outstanding chapters to receive the award at the 2009 Mortar Board National Conference in July. The award was presented to chapters executing timeliness and dedication while exemplifying the ideals of scholarship, leadership and service. Recipients were selected based on a review of national records, requiring that the chapter meet all of the national minimum standards and deadlines.
Chapter President Kelsey Drefs, a senior from Elk Horn, Wis., was present to accept the chapter’s award.
