JWH Cup

Lambda Sigma, University of Georgia

Honoring AOII Founder Jessie Wallace Hughan, the JWH Cup is one of the
Fraternity’s most prestigious awards. It recognizes the collegiate chapter
determined to be the most outstanding for the biennium. This biennium,
Lambda Sigma Chapter (U of Georgia) was selected as the deserving
recipient of the JWH Cup.

“The women in this chapter are hardworking, dedicated, and talented,
making them a wonderful compliment to the prestigious group of Alpha
Omicron Pi women present, past and future, who will receive the honor of
this award.” Those are the kind words of UGA’s Director of Greek Life. The
chapter is dedicated to high academic standards on a highly competitive,
academically-minded campus, almost always finishing first or second in
grades. They are committed to service and philanthropy, and are leaders in
SGA, Panhellenic Council, campus activities and Dance Marathon. They are

recruiting experts who have consistently established themselves as a
chapter of choice in this very large and competitive Panhellenic system.
Sisterhood is a strength and members love spending time together.
They see themselves as a family, supporting each other in good times
and bad, as they experienced together during the biennium. Their
strengths are always driven for their shared love of AOII’s Ritual.

The Executive Board deliberated long in selecting a winner, and have
chosen well. At the start of the biennium, our winner set a goal to
develop into a chapter worthy of strong consideration for this award.
In doing so, goals were set to assure that every operational area would
be exceptional. Blessed with a good start, the AAC and LC identified
key areas of improvement and set clear objectives for every LC position.
In order to win, they understood this goal had to be embraced by the
entire chapter. As the biennium progressed, the chapter achieved all

their goals, and even surpassed most. The
most important outcome might appear to
be a win in this prestigious category, but in
truth, the results are far more widespread
and meaningful than just that. This
great AOII chapter became even greater
because the membership experience of
being a member of Lambda Sigma is a
life changing proposition. AOII is proud to
congratulate Lambda Sigma for bringing
great credit to our Fraternity.
