MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. MEMORIAL
MLK VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD RECIPIENTS The idea of a special program to help college brothers attend the historic dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial was conceived by General President Herman “Skip” Mason, Jr. The idea resulted in the MLK Volunteer Service Awards (VSA). Award recipients received a direct stipend to cover the cost of registration for the dedication weekend. The MLK VSAs were awarded to committed, serviceoriented college brothers who were willing to volunteer and help the fraternity execute the planned activities for the memorable weekend in Washington, D.C. A minimum 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) was required. More than 70 young men were accepted into the program and most participated. Steve Alexander Theta Epsilon St. John’s Univ. New York, N.Y.
