POV: Sparta Awards-Delta Zeta Win's Big

Last week I had the exciting opportunity to go to the Sparta Awards for San Jose State University .  The Sparta Awards is an awards banquet to honor and recognize all of the student organizations on campus, where there are over 300.

I went to the awards with other women from my chapter who had been nominated for awards; Audry, Kannadi, and Nicole Q.  It was a huge honor being nominated for an award and I know that the other women who were nominated were just as excited as I was.

The awards were broken up into different categories; athletics, greek life, and clubs.  Before the awards started, there were a few performances from different organizations on campus.  One of which was the gospel choir.  I was very surprised but excited to see that two of my sisters were preforming, Arianah and Jessica S. They sang a few beautiful songs that they had been working on during the semester.

During the athletics portion of the awards, two more of my sisters were represented, Annie and Stephanie A. who are on the women's lacrosse team.  I was so proud to see so many of my sisters at this awards banquet for being involved in different organizations on campus.  In Delta Zeta we have a 100% involvement program which allows every sister to be involved in another organization.  We have women who are on sports teams, student government, Panhellenic council and many other amazing organizations.

Finally it was time for the Greek awards to be given out. Kannadi went on the stage to be Delta Zeta's representative.  I am so proud to say that Delta Zeta won FOUR awards, the most out of all the Greek organizations!  

We won Commitment to Service for our dedication to philanthropy.  Delta Zeta is consistently one of the most involved greek organizations for community service.  Last year we had an average of 65 hours of community service per member as well as the Excellence in Philanthropy award for our region.  Next we won Best In Council, the best out of all Panhellenic sororities.  We also won Best Inter Fraternity Relations and Best Innovative Community Program for our Mocktail event, an alcohol awareness event that all greek organizations can participate in.  

All the the Delta Zeta women in attendance were so excited and proud of all that we had accomplished the past year.  

Lots of Delta Zeta Love!
