This year's recipient is Carol DeWan, a Zeta Tau Alpha from the University of Washington. Carol got an early start in Panhellenic, serving as her sorority's representative to Panhellenic in her freshman year of college. She met and married Tom DeWan, and during their 30 married years they had 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls. Carol and Tom worked successfully in business, moved across country ending up in St. Petersburg where they were later divorced.
At age 50, Carol decided to return to college, starting at St. Petersburg Jr. College and then onto the University of South Florida. While at USF, she met Betsy Clark (Alpha Xi Delta) who was Carol's directing teacher and became a close friend. Carol received her degree and subsequently taught school in Pinellas County for 22 years. Carol served on the 74th Street Elementary School Advisory Council and was a Girl Scout Leader.
While teaching school, Carol met Gerry Brombacher who invited Carol to join St. Petersburg Alumnae Panhellenic. She has served as our President from 2003-2005 and was co-President with Anne McIntyre in 2007. She has served on many Panhellenic committees and has been the ZTA representative for decades. Carol coordinates the models for the annual fashion show, and calls council members to remind them of upcoming meetings. The reminders are very much appreciated! Carol's long-standing participation and dedication to our Alumnae Panhellenic is so noteworthy that she was nominated for this award by members from two other sororities!
