G eorgia ' s Greek system, over 1800 men in 25 fraternities and 2300 women in 17 sororities, remained strong through active participation in all phases of University life. In addition to self-pro- gramming for members, the chapters con- tinued involvement in philanthropies, in- tramurals, campus activities, and social events. Many chapters on campus distinguished themselves throughout the year. Alpha Omicron Pi was named sorority of the year for 1982 after judging by Kappa Sigma fraternity. Phi Gamma Delta and Tau Kappa Epsilon were recognized as the out- standing fraternities on campus by Alpha Omicron Pi. Nationally, Georgia ' s Alpha Omicron Pis received the Distinguished Service Award recognizing overall excellence among all of that sorority ' s chapters. The sisters of Kappa Alpha Theta were the recipients of the Golden Kite Award from their national recognizing its top chapters. The University ' s chapter of Delta Gamma received the Roberta Abernathy Award distinguishing it over all of its sister chap- ters. Also, Zeta Tau Alpha at Georgia was named top chapter by its national with the presentation of the Helen Margaret Harri- son Award. Among the fraternities, PHi Gamma Delta ' s Georgia chapter was named most outstanding chapter in the country and presented with the Cheney Cup for its ex- cellence. The brothers of Tau Kappa Epsi- lon were the recipients of the Top TKE Award for the tenth con secutive year of their 1 1 year history. The Peterson Award, the highest award that may be achieved by an active chapter of Sigma Chi, was pre- sented to the University ' s brotherhood. This campus became the base of the Southeastern Interfraternity Conference, encompassing all Interfraternity councils in the 1 1 southeastern states, as Bill Thorne was elected president and given the responsibility of overseeing the coordi- nation of the SEIFC Leadership Academy held February 17-20 at the Omni Interna- tional Hotel in Atlanta. The Order of Omega Greek Honorary sponsored a leadership conference for the campus chapters on February 25-26, at the Marriott Hotel in Atlanta. Workshops were given to develop skills in every area of fraternity and sorority management. A new sorority. Gamma Phi Beta, was chartered winter quarter after colonizing fall quarter 1982 with 93 members select- ed during an October 3-8 rush. The na- tional was given permission to come onto campus by the Panhellenic Council sorori- ties after petitions from several national organizations were reviewed during spring quarter 1982. Not all of the news for the Greek system was good, however. During spring quarter 1982, Chi Phi fraternity was placed on suspension by the University after an ad- ministrative hearing on several miscon- duct charges. The fraternity regained good standing by fall quarter 1982 after restruc- turing its programming as determined by an administrative review. Sigma Alpha Epsilon had its University recognition withdrawn for a period of at least two years in June, 1982 after administrative hearings concerning incidents occuring over the preceeding three quarters. a 10 INTRODUCT1ON — GREEKS
