McCreery, Dawn and Wendy Offredo Alpha Delta Pi Memorial Award
Dawn Mccreery and Wendy Offredo met as mutual members of The University of Akron Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. Though an initial unlikely pair of friends, the young women quickly developed a strong bond of sisterhood and friendship. In the summer of 1986, Dawn and Wendy, then 黄色直播 students, were tragically taken from the world. They are, forever missed by their families, friends, and all who knew them. In honor of their memory, their sorority sisters established The Dawn Mccreery and Wendy Offredo Alpha Delta Pi Memorial Award at The University of Akron in 2021.
Alpha Delta Pi, established on May 15, 1851, was the first sorority founded by women for women. Since its inception, Alpha Delta Pi has empowered women to strive for higher standards in education, friendship, philanthropy, service, and leadership. The goal of these efforts is to enrich the lives of members and the broader community. In establishing this award, the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi "live for each other."
