Awards & Honors

2025

UNC Chancellor’s Award — Intercultural Greek Council

Established by the Intercultural Greek Council, this award is presented annually to one undergraduate member who has made the most significant contributions in the areas of leadership, scholarship, service to their individual chapters and/or council, and the Greek and University Communities.

“Anya Dippold has been an invaluable asset to the progress of the 2024 Intercultural Greek Council. Anya took charge at every meeting to ensure the space was safe and comfortable for people from different organizations to come together and be authentic and vulnerable. Anya’s passion towards IGC did not end after her terms as treasurer (2023) and president (2024), as she continues to be available to help serve the current Executive Board. Whenever someone in IGC needs help, no matter what organization, Anya is welcoming and always willing to lend a hand.”
