SFU Greek Life Inducts 13 into Honor Societies 2019

04/16/2019

On Sunday, April 7, Saint Francis University welcomed 13 students into our Greek Life Honor Societies. These societies are nationally recognized as Gamma Sigma Alpha and the Order of Omega, and are exclusive to only those who meet a specified criteria and are affiliated with a Greek-lettered organization.

Gamma Sigma Alpha was founded at the University of Southern California by Beth K. Saul of Alpha Epsilon Phi and the Assistant Director of Greek Life at the University at that time. On November 9, 1989 Gamma Sigma Alpha was established on their campus as a local Greek academic honor society. Since that time Gamma Sigma Alpha has grown to be an inter-nationally recognized Greek academic honor society and has established over 215 chapters around the United States and Canada. The criteria to be invited to join Gamma Sigma Alpha at Saint Francis University is the following –

  • All applicants must be a member of a Greek fraternity or sorority

  • Applicants must be of junior or senior academic standing

  • Applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 or above
