Gamma Sigma Alpha



 On March 16, 1994, the Alpha Tau Chapter of Gamma Sigma Alpha (GSA) was founded at Washburn University. GSA, a national Greek academic honor society, was founded to promote intellectual interaction between Greek students and the academic community.

The purpose of the Society is to promote the advancement of education among Greeks; to instill a greater spirit of cooperation among Greek students and organizations and to encourage excellence in scholarship.

Brief History

A group of scholastic achievers at the University of Southern California - representing various fraternities and sororities - joined together to create an organization dedicated to the advancement of higher education and academic accomplishment.

The Alpha Chapter of Gamma Sigma Alpha was founded on November 9, 1989, as a result of this student effort. The national board was established the following year to promote the Society's ideals on campuses across the country. The Society quickly grew to over 150 chapters in its first 11 years.
