Director of the Office of Undergraduate Judicial Affairs April Thompson presented awards for house brotherhood and sisterhood.
"My work in Judicial Affairs doesn't often offer me the opportunity to see the amazing, wonderful things that you do," Thompson said, and joked that she saw a number of familiar faces in the room. "I do get to ask you why you make a lot of the decisions that you make."
Thompson said one of her favorite "why" questions was "Why be in a Greek organization?" The values encompassed in the brotherhood and sisterhood awards, she said, answered that question.
