History
Gamma Epsilon Pi was founded at the University of Illinois on March 26, 1918.[1][2] The founders were five Junior Women in the College of Commerce who felt that a similar organization to Beta Gamma Sigma was needed for Women.[1] Alpha Gamma Pi was established at University of Wisconsin and Phi Sigma Chi was established at University of Washington at approximately the same time and the three groups merged in 1922. The name and the pin for Gamma Epsilon Pi were adopted for the merged group, a new Constitution and Ritual were created.
On April 29, 1933, the group merged into Beta Gamma Sigma, a similar organization founded for men, which began allowing female members in February 1932.[3][4] The 983 women of Gamma Epsilon Pi became lifetime members of Beta Gamma Sigma.[4]
