Griffiths Members Honored at Tap Day
The 81st annual Tap Day Ceremony was held on Friday, April 18 and a number of Griffiths members were honored.
Tap Day organizations honor students, staff, faculty and alumni for their leadership, service and character. Six honorary organizations reveal their newest members at the annual Tap Day ceremony which is held on the Francis Quadrangle. Due to rainy spring weather, the ceremony was moved inside to Jesse Auditorium. The weather didn’t dampen spirits as some of Mizzou’s most outstanding leaders were honored.
Approximately 80 students were recognized including 12 members of the Griffiths Leadership Society. LSV, which celebrated its centennial celebration this year, is an organization dedicated to promoting and improving the status of women. Alumna member Anne Deaton and collegian member Jennifer Kimball were inducted into LSV and publicly revealed at Tap Day. Several Griffiths members were inducted into QEBH, one of the university’s oldest honorary societies. Alumna Anne Deaton and collegians Dana DeMott and Alex Ferrell were tapped into QEBH.
Several members were inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa, an organization that honors achievement in scholarship, athletics, student government, journalism, and fine arts. Collegians Carrie Bien, Alex Ferrell, Amanda Hoffman, Alex Lackos and Brittany Perrin were inducted into ODK. Mortar Board recognizes students who demonstrate a commitment to academics, leadership and service.
