DAPA Annual Meeting and Scholarship Luncheon

On May 20th, the Dallas Area Panhellenic Association held their Annual Meeting and Scholarship Luncheon. There were nearly 150 in attendance, with 17 of the 26 NPC sororities represented. The DAA had nine sisters in attendance. The inaugural Sorority Women of Distinction award recognized 13 alumnae, including our very own Anne Pogson. Here is what was said of our distinguished member: "Anne has demonstrated exceptional leadership and service across ADPi, Panhellenic, and her community for decades. A former president of DAPA, and the Dallas Alumnae Association of Alpha Delta Pi, her contributions have been recognized with two prestigious ADPi International Awards. She is known for her loyalty, generosity, and dedication as a sister, mentor and friend."
