Five charters granted
Charter members of Gamma Sigma Alpha at Ohio Wesleyan University gather after their induction ceremony
What do Brooklyn College, Indiana University, Miles College, Ohio Wesleyan University and Baldwin-Wallace College all have in common? These five institutions took the steps this semester to charter a chapter of Gamma Sigma Alpha within their fraternity/sorority communities. Evidence again, that Gamma Sigma Alpha can be successful with a large Greek community or small, public school or private, liberal or conservative. With 212 chartered chapters nationwide, Gamma Sigma Alpha is growing. If you don’t have a chapter, now is a great time to explore the possibilities. Welcome new Gamma Sigma Alpha charter members!
Missouri State Recognized
Last year, Missouri State was placed on the Gamma Sigma Alpha Honor Roll and shared that information with their administration. The University decided to honor that accomplishment at a basketball game and you can see the clip below. Thanks for sharing this!

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is best known for basketball, but the fraternity/sorority community has a lot to brag about too. Home to 54 fraternity and sorority organizations, they are committed to high academic achievement and consistently report higher greek GPA scores compared to their non-greek counterparts.
The Gamma Alpha chapter of Gamma Sigma Alpha was chartered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1995 and continues to be one of our largest chapters nationwide, initiating more than 150 students each year. Current membership is almost 400 members. How does the chapter recruit so many members? Tactics include:
- Current Gamma Sigma Alpha members visit chapter meetings to discuss the organization and encourage qualified members to apply
- Two new member scholarships are offered to Gamma Sigma Alpha initiates
- Membership selection is all completed online
In addition to recognizing academic achievement, the Gamma Sigma Alpha chapter at UNC at Chapel Hill also strives to complete 1-2 service projects each semester.
