NPC Recognizes CNSAP with Prestigious Awards for 2022-23

Congratulations CNSAP, we win again! Our Alumnae Panhellenic has been selected once more as a recipient of the National Panhellenic Conference Programming Excellence and Citation of Merit awards. The awards recognize the success of the Chicago North Shore Alumnae Panhellenic in meeting the criteria of high achievement and consistent cooperation with NPC.

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.

Alumnae Panhellenics are recognized based on their programming accomplishments, work to build positive relationships with their communities, efforts to promote the sorority experience, submission of the Alumnae Panhellenic annual report and continued administration of their Alumnae Panhellenic.

“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.”

CNSAP President Linda Grandolfo was honored with the Barbara Daugs Hunt Award at Alpha Omicron Pi's 2021 Convention for her many years of service to the organization.

As a member of AOII, she expressed her thanks and privilege to work on their shared philanthrophy, the Arthritis Foundation, during a reception in her honor at the Drake Hotel in downtown Chicago on April 24, 2022. National members of the Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation and our Chicago North Shore Alumnae were on hand to congratulate her for her dedicated service.

Since 1967, the Fraternity has enjoyed an important partnership with the Arthritis Foundation, supporting arthritis research, Juvenile Arthritis Camps, and arthritis awareness.
