Greek Leader of the Year - Allison Carey '20

Kappa Kappa Gamma

Our Greek leader of the Year is someone that redefined and reimagined bid day for their chapter and the larger Inter-Sorority Council community. As written by her nominator, “(She) was a leader in creating bid day for Kappa Kappa Gamma and inspiring dramatic positive change... She inspires others with her leadership and has been transformative in shaping our new member experience for the better.”

Greek President of the Year - Caroline Allen '20

Kappa Kappa Gamma

Being a chapter president is a difficult and demanding job; it requires a certain amount of selflessness to consistently prioritize the needs and interests of one’s members for the duration of a year. This year’s President of the Year was described as someone that “worked tirelessly to ensure that the relationships between fraternities and sororities are built on honesty, mutual respect, and friendship by promoting sisterhood, philanthropy, and bonding events with many of those in the Greek/Dartmouth communities.” This individual is someone that has dedicated her term to the wellness of her peers and belief in the sorority experience. It is a privilege to have worked with her.

Greek Advisor of the Year - Jim Adler - Chi Gamma Epsilon

While our 2020 Advisor of the Year has committed to positively impacting the overall wellness of his chapter, he has most notably held a GPA scholarship reception to encourage scholastic success and opened his home to brothers over their sophomore summer to hear about their Dartmouth experiences. One of his six nominators had this to say: “He emphasizes the importance of character for all our members, and embodies our motto of “come as you are” by making the chapter a place that everyone can be themselves in.”

Kaiser Awards

The Kaiser Awards recognize seniors who have gone above and beyond in giving back to and improving the Greek Community.

Sanat Mohapatra '20 - Bones Gate

Sanat is someone that has worked to create a culture of compassion within the larger Dartmouth community and challenge the stigmatization of being a fraternity man by encouraging conversations pertaining to mental health. He founded Unmasked, an anonymous, mental health social media mobile application for college students. As described on Unmasked’s website, “Students take off their masks and share what’s really going on.” The Office of Greek Life is continuously amazed by affiliated students’ creativity and innovation to address the needs of others, and Sanat\is no exception.

Saheer Mathrani '20 -

Psi Upsilon

In addition to maintaining his commitment to academics, Saheer has held numerous internships and served his fraternity as chapter president. What is most impressive, however, is his dedication to philanthropy. He served as an executive committee member for the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hero, helping to create fundraising initiatives and orchestrate the 2800+ person event as the lead student member of the Committee; he ultimately raised $52,671 as the top fundraiser in 2019. It is an honor to present Saheer as a Kaiser award winner.

Esther Oluokon '20 Delta Sigma Theta

As someone involved in Soyeya, Dartmouth Rockapellas, Black Praxis, and FYSEP, Esther is recognized as being a positive force on Dartmouth’s campus. One of her nominators wrote, “My favorite part of her presence on campus is how, in everything she does, in every community she’s a part of, she continues to help promote inclusivity through her support of black women and other cultures on campus.” She has spent the last year serving as Vice President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and spearheaded her chapter’s Get Lit Get Fit Program, “a program designed to help women at Dartmouth, specifically those of color, to start their fitness journeys and discover the fun in getting active.” It is because of her many contributions to our institution, but particularly her dedication to this program, that we would like to recognize Esther as a Kaiser award recipient.
