Academic Award
Given To SPE
For the past six years Sigma Phi
Epsilon has received a scholarship
cup from the National Headquarters
in Richmond, thus calling attention
to the fact that they have attained
the highest fraternal academic av
erage on the Atlantic Christian Col
lege campus since 1958. The award
was presented to David Peebles,
president of the fraternity, and Don
Johnson, Scholarship Chairman by
Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, president of
the college.
In receiving the award, Peebles
said, “This represents one of the
main aims of our fraternity. We are
glad that we could win this trophy,
becasue it exemplifies the fact that
all fraternities are not a group of
men bound together for an aimless
purpose. We realize that we are
here, above all, to graduate, and
while we are here we will all try
to make as much of a success of
our college careers as we can.”
In addition to the scholarship cups
presented by the National Head
quarters the Sigma Phi Epsilon fra
ternity has also been the recipient of
the Interfraternity Council Scholas
tic Award every year since its origin
in 1960.
