David Ehrlich Honored with Society's Star and Crescent AwardSubmitted by Craig Cheslog on February 2, 2006 - 01:42.News
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MORTON GROVE, Ill.—David Ehrlich of San Francisco, Calif., a 1984 graduate of Stanford University, was recently awarded the Alpha Delta Phi Society’s Star & Crescent Award, the highest distinction the Society can give to one of its graduate members. Ehrlich was presented with the honor during the closing banquet of the Society’s Seventh Convention and Leadership Training Conference, hosted by its Brunonian Chapter at Brown University in Providence, R.I. “David played an instrumental role in our survival in the first years after our separation from the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity,” said Alpha Delta Phi Society President Craig Cheslog (Bowdoin 1993). “As our first Treasurer, he helped to create an organization dedicated to including women as full members of our literary society. His leadership helped to build, from scratch, a solid financial foundation for our Society and an endowment to support our programs.” Ehrlich served as the Society’s treasurer from its founding in 1992 until 1999. He served as an elected member of the Board of Governors from 1992-99. While Treasurer, the Society enjoyed balanced or surplus annual budgets and built a endowment to support the organization’s literary and educational programs. The Alpha Delta Phi Society is a literary society and one of North America’s foremost coeducational Greek-letter institutions, with five active chapters. The Alpha Delta Phi was founded by Samuel Eells in 1832 to encourage free thought and to supplement classroom education. In 1992, after years of controversy over the status of women within the organization, the Alpha Delta Phi formally separated into the Alpha Delta Phi Society, which would accept women, and the all-male Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity. ### |
