A photo or two
April is a busy month on the Birmingham-Southern campus, and this week, two photos caught our fancy.
Distinguished alums—Birmingham-Southern College presented three of its most accomplished alumni with the 2006 Distinguished Alumni Award during the Legacy Luncheon April 27 in the Bruno Great Hall on campus. Receiving the honor were (from left) Martha Jane Patton, a 1968 BSC graduate and an attorney and executive director of the Legal Aid Society of Birmingham; Dr. Kenneth W. Bramlett, a 1977 BSC graduate and an orthopaedic surgeon in practice at the Alabama Orthopaedic Institute; and Margaret Enslen Sherrill, a 1951 BSC graduate and a retired medical technologist. Since 1965, 109 Birmingham-Southern alumni have received the Distinguished Alumni Award for their professional and personal accomplishments.
Speed eaters—Birmingham-Southern sorority members dig into creme-filled pies in their search for the winning gumball during a Greek Week “Hidden Gumball Race” activity. “Students had to find a certain color to win, explains Gary Wiser, coordinator of BSC student development and co-coordinator of Greek Week festivities. “The purpose of the college's annual Greek Week is to celebrate being a member of a sorority or fraternity, and to show unity,” Wiser says. Greek Week festivities were held during the afternoons of April 24-27. Birmingham-Southern is home to eight sororities and seven fraternities.
