Emotions ran high at the 2009 Greek Awards Ceremony, hosted by the Order of Omega. Sororities and fraternities from on and off campus came together to recognize outstanding service to the community, to the Greek system, and to each other. The Great Hall of Wren was overflowing with Greeks, filling the air with excitement, laughter, and anticipation.
Order of Omega chapter president Dan Gormally ('09) opened the ceremonies with a speech on the William and Mary "community of success," extending praise beyond the bounds of the Greek system to the entire student and alumni population. The first award of the afternoon, Excellence in Membership Education, was taken home by Gamma Phi Beta sorority for the fourth year in a row. Mike Coulter ('11) accepted the award for Outstanding New Member of a Fraternity for his service to Delta Phi and to the community. His acceptance was accompanied by an emphatic "Yeah!" and a punch into the air, both of which were well received by his brothers and the audience.
An Order of Omega representative awarded a scholarship to member Thomas Milteer ('09). The award for Service and Support of Others went to Delta Sigma Theta for their 22 Days of Service, symbolizing the sorority's 22 founding members.
The award for Outstanding Greek Man went to Milteer for his dedicated involvement in making the William and Mary Bone Marrow Drive the largest collegiate bone marrow drive in the country and for bringing the President's Cup to Theta Delta Chi. Tom was excited about winning the Outstanding Greek Man award but more emphatically expressed his pleasure at being able to represent his fraternity. Tom will be heading to Arizona with Teach for America after graduation.
The award for Outstanding Greek Woman went to Kate Olsen, former president of Gamma Phi Beta and current Order of Omega Vice President, for her scholastic excellence and her research work abroad.
