Members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity and Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority at Northwestern State University honored donors David and Sherry Morgan during a March 19, 2026 program in which students were awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships for outstanding achievement in academics, service and extracurricular engagement.
Morgan Extra Mile Scholarships recognize students who go the “extra mile” for their chapters, their campus and their community while pursuing degrees.
David Morgan is a 1973 NSU graduate and past president of NSU’s Beta Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. He established the Extra Mile Scholarship in 2008 to recognize members of Pi Kappa Phi who distinguish themselves through academic success, chapter leadership, campus involvement and part-time employment. The scholarship has since grown and is awarded at the national level as well as in the local chapter.
The Sherry Fargerson Morgan “Extra Mile” Scholarship for Sigma Sigma Sigma was announced in 2017 and mirrors the criteria for Pi Kappa Phi by honoring students who are outstanding and high achieving members of the chapter. Sherry Morgan is a 1973 graduate of NSU.
“The Morgan Extra Mile Scholarship Program represents the very best qualities of a Greek students: scholarship, service, and character. These principles are not just words to us; they are the very foundation of what it means to go the ‘Extra Mile,’” said Corinne Boudreaux of Thibodaux, president of the Alpha Zeta chapter of Tri Sigma.
