Шаблон:Infobox fraternity Gamma Sigma Alpha (Шаблон:Lang, or GSA) is a National Academic Greek Honor society recognizing academic excellence among members of Fraternities and sororities. Gamma Sigma Alpha states that its mission is "to recognize and advance academic excellence as a core value of fraternities and sororities".[1] Unlike the Order of Omega, who also reward Greek Life academic successes, Gamma Sigma Alpha does not limit the number of members who can be initiated.[1]

History

Gamma Sigma Alpha was founded at the University of Southern California on November 9, 1989, by Beth K. Saul and a group of scholastic achievers representing various fraternities and sororities dedicated to the advancement of higher education and academic accomplishment.[2][3]

The current executive director is Nicole A. Singleton

Symbols

The badge of Gamma Sigma Alpha, which can be seen within its seal, consists of a white lit candle with a golden base on a field of Gules (red) with a bend of argent.[4]

Membership

Undergraduate students, in their junior or senior year, can apply for membership if they are a member of a Greek fraternity or sorority on campus and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above (on a 4.0 scale).[5]

Chapters

As of Spring 2015, Gamma Sigma Alpha has over 215 chapters across the United States and Canada.[4]
