Phoenix Alum Earns Achoth Award!
At the Delta Zeta National Convention in Miami, Fla. last summer Susan Norman (Zeta, University of Nebraska-Lincoln) received one of the sorority's prestigious Achoth Awards. The recognitions are given each convention to alumnae who have demonstrated, by long and faithful service on the local level, their continued loyalty to Delta Zeta.

When nominating Sue, Phoenix Alumnae President Ann Santos wrote,"In the days when we weren't sure whether the Phoenix Alumnae Chapter would continue, Sue was one of those who stepped up to lead us. In the ensuing years, she has been a dedicated DZ alum, serving in many capacities. I believe she exemplifies what a DZ should be and deserves recognition for all she has done"

In college, Sue was chapter president, rush chairwoman, House Corporation Board member and received the outstanding pledge award. Her alumnae activities began in Lincoln and continue in Phoenix where she has served as president, treasurer, Panhellenic representative, newsletter chair and delegate to National Conventions in Dallas and Scottsdale. She also volunteered at the Phoenix Open (now FBR) Golf tournament for 12 years. Since 2005, she has been Pi Zeta House Corporation President.

She has more than 30 years' experience in the interior design profession, establishing Susan Norman Interiors in 1980. The Pi Zeta Chapter has gorgeous rooms thanks to Sue's expertise and care. She enjoys working with students and is currently an instructor of interior design at the college level.

Congratulations Sue on winning an Achoth Award and thanks for all you do!
