PANHELLENIC AWARDS
The women who belong to the sororities at the University of Toronto, are the best on campus, and we want to celebrate that! The thirteen awards presented by the Panhellenic Council are an exciting way to recognize the outstanding achievements of chapters and members.
​
Each chapter has the task of nominating someone for each award. Once the nominations are collected, they are reviewed and voted on by the Panhellenic Delegates of each chapter during a Panhellenic Council meeting.
