 Gwendolyn Gillespie

The Delta of the Year award is given annually in the Fairfax County Alumnae Chapter (FCAC) to honor a dynamic Delta who has demonstrated a significant commitment to the chapter and has gone above and beyond the call of Delta.  FCAC is proud to honor Gwendolyn Gillespie as the Delta of the Year for the 2020-2021 Sorority Year. 

​

Gwendolyn Gillespie has served FCAC for many years in many capacities. She is currently serving as the School Support Sub-Committee Chair.  She set up locations to collect backpacks and school supplies during the summer and at the chapter retreat. She delivered the backpacks to Bryant Alternative School, Riverside Elementary School, and the Fairfax County Parenting Class at Gum Springs. Additionally, Gwendolyn coordinated food bags for Bryant Alternative School for the Christmas holidays so that students would have meals when school was closed. As an outstanding educator, Gwendolyn understands the importance of students, especially minority students, having just the basics to help them succeed. She displays a kind, honest and compassionate spirit and is always willing to help. The most remarkable aspect of Gwen's character is that she quietly helps and serves out of love while never looking to receive recognition. Gwendolyn Gillespie is most deserving of being Delta of the Year for this sorority year.
