The Grace Mason Lundy Award honors senior members who have demonstrated exceptional commitment throughout their collegiate journey. These women have not only led with purpose but have also strengthened their chapters, elevated the Delta Zeta experience, and made lasting contributions that will continue to shape their communities long after graduation. 

Through their leadership, these women have fostered strong chapter cultures, supported academic excellence, and championed service and philanthropy. They have modeled Delta Zeta’s values and ideals while inspiring those around them to lead with confidence, compassion and integrity. Their contributions reflect the spirit of Grace Mason Lundy – women who give generously of their time, talent and heart in service to the Sorority. 

Being named a Regional Recipient is a significant accomplishment and reflects the respect and admiration of peers, advisors and campus communities alike. These women are now among the National Finalists, with national award recipients to be announced later this month. 

We congratulate each Regional Recipient on this well-deserved recognition and thank them for their outstanding contributions to Delta Zeta. Your leadership, service and dedication continue to strengthen our sisterhood and inspire future generations.
