2017 Scholarship Recipients
Central Fraternal Leadership Conference (AFLV Central) Scholarship
The annual Association of Fraternal Leadership and Values (AFLV) Central Conference is a four-day event that brings more than 3,000 fraternity men and sorority women together for a weekend of networking and idea sharing. It is the largest gathering of undergraduate fraternity and sorority leaders from councils and chapters in the United States.
In 2017, Delta Phi Lambda Foundation has continued to sponsor scholarships for the conference because of the leadership education and networking opportunity the conference provides. This year, the Foundation awarded scholarships to three sisters: Windy "CalytriX" Nguyen from University of Iowa, Celina "Skyfall" Yang from Grand Valley State University, and Victoria "Persevere" Le from Clemson University.

I was honored to have the privilege to attend AFLV. This experience has given me a great outlook of Greek life and professionalism. I have learned so many new things, met a lot of new faces, and made new memories.
Victoria Le

By attending the AFLV conference, I learned from other Greek campus leaders in order to leave my legacy. I learned more ways for me to give back to my community and show the community that Greek life goes beyond the stereotypes. With only one semester left, I wanted to ensure that this last semester will have the most impact I will ever leave on my campus.

This experience has amazing so far. Met a lot of people and definitely learning a lot from everything and everyone. AFLV helped me expand my knowledge on other ways I can effectively lead my position as well as leadership skills that helped me become a successful leader within my organization and community.
