The 2018 Dorothy Shaw recipients were announced this year at Leadership Seminar.

The Dorothy Shaw Leadership Award is the highest individual honor given to a collegiate member
of Alpha Delta Pi. Applications are available online each spring. The completed forms must be
submitted to Executive Office by the date listed on the nomination form. The Dorothy Shaw
Leadership Award is given annually to a collegiate member of Alpha Delta Pi who:

• Is a current Junior or Senior
• Has a cumulative 3.40 GPA and is active in the sorority chapter as well as on campus.
• Has supporting information as requested on the application form.

This award is named in honor of Dorothy Pierpont Shaw, who pledged at Rho Chapter, Boston
University, in the fall of 1915, and initiated in February 1916. She later transferred to Psi Chapter,
University of California, Berkeley. Between 1920 and 1931, she served as Alumnae Secretary,
Registrar, Historian, Province President, and Grand Convention Manager. She published the first
national membership directory for the sorority.

The 2018 Dorothy Shaw Leadership Award recipients have held offices within Alpha Delta Pi from
Pride Leader to President. On campus, they were leaders and members of clubs and organizations
such as Student Government, Panhellenic Council, Mortar Board, professional organizations, and
sports teams. Some were also awarded Outstanding Greek Woman of the Year.

In the community, they volunteered countless hours with Habitat for Humanity, Special Olympics,
Relay for Life, and of course the Ronald McDonald House. Finally, with an average of a 3.73 GPA,
they are members of numerous honor societies including Order of Omega, Alpha Lambda Delta,
Omicron Delta Kappa, and Golden Key International Honor Society. Their lists of
accomplishments are long and impressive.

The 2018 Collegiate Chapter Award recipients were announced this year at Leadership Seminar.

Alpha Delta Pi collegiate chapter awards serve to motivate and inspire chapters. The goal of the
awards program is to create positive momentum, celebrate success, and reward the highest level of
excellence in our sisterhood.

Chapter awards are achieved by meeting high standards in whole-chapter operations across all
functional areas, including recruitment, member retention, membership engagement, involvement in
outside organizations and campus leadership positions, chapter members service hours, chapter
GPA, business operations including accounts receivable and net income, and member experience
based on responses to the annual membership survey.

Performance awards are based on the academic year and are presented annually at the summer
meeting, except for the Maxine Blake Golden Lion Award, which is presented once a biennium
during Grand Convention. Chapters apply annually in the spring for the award for which they
determine they qualify; however, if a chapter does not qualify for the awards for which they have
applied, their application can be considered for a lesser award. Chapters can receive only one
award on the Performance Award spectrum per year. There are three levels of awards given out at
Leadership Seminar. Award criteria is outlined in the Chapter Operations Book. Chapters may
receive the One Diamond, Two Diamond, or Three Diamond Award.
