TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Two University of Alabama students have received an Undergraduate Award of Distinction from the North-American Interfraternity Conference for 2016.
They are William Marcus Gibson, of Mobile, and Peter Inge, of Vestavia Hills. Gibson is a member of Theta Chi, and Inge is a member of Alpha Tau Omega.
Gibson led his chapter’s participation in the Tuscaloosa Out of the Darkness Community Walk in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, raising more than $30,000. He is now a UA graduate student in accounting.
Inge founded an investment banking organization to help business school students land internships on Wall Street, and he led another organization focused on developing ethical leaders. He is an undergraduate finance major.
Each year the North-American Interfraternity Conference recognizes excellence in the fraternity industry by conferring awards to individuals, groups and organizations that exemplify leadership, service and fraternal values.
The Undergraduate Award of Distinction seeks to recognize fraternity men who have found in their experience an outlet for developing as both a leader and a better man. The recipients are those who embody the values of their fraternity and expect the same from those with whom they associate.
