Mu Phi Epsilon Home Honors & Awards Orah Ashley Lamke Award

Orah Ashley Lamke Award

Orah Ashley Lamke was a charter member of Delta (1905) and later held five national offices: National Alumnae Officer (two different times), National Editor, National Secretary, National Vice President, and National President 1928-1930. In recognition of her devoted service and dedication to alumni, the 1964 national convention in Lincoln initiated the Orah Ashley Lamke Distinguished Alumna Award, and she was the first to receive it. Since then, her namesake award is given each year to a longtime alumni member who has shown dedication and loyalty at the local level.
