CNSA Panhellenic Chapter Wins Two Prestigious Awards from APH
The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), the largest advocacy and support organizations for women's sorority experience, announced that 62 Alumnae Panhellenic Associations were recognized for Programming Excellence and 57 were recognized with the Citation of Merit Award for the 2021-2022 period. Our CNSAP Chapter was chosen for both of these prestigious awards!
NPC annually recognizes Alumnae Panhellenic Associations for their outstanding achievements. For Programming Excellence, NPC area coordinators nominate Chapters for
going above and beyond to enhance the Panhellenic spirit by hosting events outside of meetings and developing their members at meetings or events through speakers, activities and philanthropy.
Citation of Merit Award winners were recognized for supporting College Panhellenics both with scholarship and with their recruitment efforts.
Awarded for 2020, our CNSA Panhellenic Chapter Wins for Programming Excellence
“Alumnae Panhellenics play a pivotal role in advancing the sorority experience,” said Linda Purkapile, 2018-20 NPC Alumnae Panhellenics Committee chairman. “And, despite
the challenges presented to Panhellenic operations from the global pandemic, their activities in 2019-20, whether delivered in person or virtually, helped to promote the lifelong benefits of sorority
membership and enhance the Panhellenic image. We are proud to recognize these Alumnae Panhellenics and their members who have demonstrated hard work and dedication to being ambassadors for the
sorority experience.”
