Sara Ann Hatton Award
The Sara Ann Hatton Award is a traveling honor awarded to an outstanding active member of our alumnae chapter each year. Sara Ann Hatton (Omicron 1927) was International President of Alpha Phi for two terms 1966-1970, collegiate chapter president and served multiple terms as both district governor and director of collegiate programs.
The award itself is Sara Ann’s Alpha Phi badge attached to a gold pendant backing. Sara wore the pendant as a bracelet for many years, then bestowed it as a gift to Esther Richart (Omicron) during her term as the Greater Kansas City Alumnae Panhellenic President. Because Sara Ann was very modest and would never honor herself, Esther gave our alumnae chapter the badge in Sara’s honor. The members nominated and awarded this honor have exhibited a dedication and love for Alpha Phi throughout their commitment to our alumnae chapter.
Our current Sara Ann Hatton Award recipient is Maggie White-Walden, Upsilon (Washburn University). Congratulations, Maggie!
