During each Triennial Pi Gamma Mu Convention, a group of people is
selected for our Hall of Fame Award. Those chosen during this
convention were:
Honoree Extraordinaire |

Dr. Orville D. Menard served with distinction as President of Pi Gamma Mu
from 1990-96. Dr. Menard was a professor of Political Science at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He reactivated the
chapter of Pi Gamma Mu at UNO in 1978 and continued as chapter sponsor until his retirement from the university in 1998. His chapter
ach year received either Role of Merit or Role of Distinction. He took very seriously his constitutional role of making sure
that the board policies were implemented. His influence on Pi Gamma Mu was significant and profound. |

Mr. Dan Quigley was the Pi Gamma Mu attorney for more than 20 years. He served with selfless dedication to Pi Gamma Mu until his death in 2002. As parliamentarian, he carried a copy of Robert’s Rules of Order and scrupulously applied it in every meeting. His wit was often demonstrated as he lightened them to our benefit. Caution was his position on amendments to the Pi Gamma Mu Constitution, wanting to ensure that the document was altered only with great care, sustaining its purpose as our fundamental governing guide. Mr. Quigley was a keep judge of character, able to discern other’s motives and recognize individuals whose concerns were fixed on Pi Gamma Mu’s best interest, not their own. |
Honoree Superior |
| Dr. Stephen L. Fisher, although never a chapter advisor, was always active
in the Virginia Delta chapter at Emory & Henry College. He would find and recruit student
and faculty members, helping the chapter choose projects, raise money for any trips they attempted,
and generally doing the “community organizing” that is involved in Pi Gamma Mu. He was certainly
the drive wheel for all things the chapter did for at least thirty years. Each year the chapter gives
out the Steve Fisher Award, a medal with his image on it, to reward the Pi Gamma Mu member who was most active
in community service and community organizing activities. |

Dr. Patricia A. Mulvey, was the founding
sponsor of the West Virginia Theta
chapter at Bluefield State College in 1994
and continued to guide the chapter until
her death in 2007. This chapter consistently
earned honors by being named to either the Roll of Merit or Roll of Distinction and
was much involved in activities that
served the local community. She and her
students consistently attended Pi Gamma Mu
regional meetings and conventions, frequently
presenting papers at both. Dr.
Mulvey was an active Latin American historian, specializing in Brazil. She later became fascinated with the
life of Elizabeth Kee, the first woman elected to Congress from
West Virginia, and published a book about Ms. Kee’s life. In addition
to publications about Ms. Kee, Dr. Mulvey also acted to have
the federal building in Bluefield designated in Kee’s name.
