An OU sorority has been recognized for its work on campus showcasing dedication to female students.

Alpha Kappa Delta Phi was chosen to receive the Women’s Outreach Center Commitment to Women Award for 2010, outreach center coordinator Kathy Moxley said.

“We decided this past year to start this award to recognize the good work that happens in the greek community in the advancement for women,” Moxley said.

The outreach center created the prize to encourage others in the greek community to get involved, Moxley said.

Sororities and fraternities cannot nominate themselves; they must be nominated by an adviser, Moxley said.

The sorority sisters were committed to breast-health awareness during the past semester and volunteered for Breast Health Awareness Month, the SHOUT Panel and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Moxley said.
