Pamela McClure Cronenwett Loyalty Award

This award shall be presented to an alumna member of Delta Zeta in Region VI who has made a significant contribution to her sorority through her loyalty, interest, and devotion. Since this award is a Region, rather than a chapter award, you may wish to nominate someone who is not a member of your alumnae chapter, but who you know has fulfilled the qualifications fro this award. This may be a person who lives in an area where an organized chapter or club does not currently exist.

Congratulations to Marlene (Tommy) Gilpin, initiate of Delta Nu chapter at Parsons College, for being named the 2007 Pamela McClure Cronenwett Award Winner! 

Imagine moving to an area where there are very few DZ alumnae. How does one stay in touch with her sorority? Today we have the Surfing Sisters, but 18 years ago, this was not an option.

With a Masters in Education in hand, she first found a job as a Consultant/Trainer in a mental health facility. Then she decided to use her communication skills and love of Delta Zeta to become a CCD. Since making that decision she has given generously of her time and talents to the collegiate chapter in her city. She guides them with a strong sense of sisterhood and ensures that they continue to build a chapter strong on academics, community involvement and sisterhood.

She also helped to coordinate activities in active chapters for 18 months as a Province College Director, a position similar to today’s Regional College Coordinator.

Did I mention that after nearly two decades, this lady is still serving as the CCD for Lambda Theta?

Marlene Thompson Gilpin was initiated into Delta Nu chapter at Parsons College in 1960. She went on to earn a Masters degree at the University of Illinois. Husband Michael and daughter Jacqueline complete her family.

She is a “shining star” example of devotion to the role of CCD. Always looking out for the best for her Delta Zeta family, she is respected and loved by the Lambda Thetas of Michigan Tech.

Tommy Gilpin continues to inspire us all with her wit, charm, and giving personality. Her dedication has guaranteed that Delta Zeta remains a viable part of not only Michigan Tech but also the surrounding community of Houghton and beyond.

Congratulations Tommy!
