Our Service

All chapters, collegiate and alumni, are required to perform a defined number of service hours during the year as set forth in national and chapter bylaws.

Projects range from nationally sponsored causes to individual dedications, and chapters/individuals may be awarded for their efforts. Each member of the organization brings individual talents, skills and ideas to the organization, uniting in the spirit of service.  

At each National Convention, two special project areas are chosen by the delegation for special emphasis during the following biennium. These areas, known as Project IMPACT (Individuals Making Progress Across Communities Together), encourage participation by all members, and help to establish relations with other national charitable organizations. 

In addition to Project IMPACT area suggestions and individual chapter projects, Gamma Sigma Sigma, as an organization, partners with charitable organizations to provide a combined, concentrated level of service to the nation. These affiliations are many, though the longest standing partnership is with the national March of Dimes.

Chapters/Members participating in special emphasis projects are given recognition for their service through award competitions and certificate presentations.  

More than Service…

But though it is a worthy pursuit, Gamma Sigma Sigma is not just about service!

Chapters also sponsor numerous social activities such as dances, retreats, parties, family events, picnics, teas, dinners, trips and more. Social activities and special events strengthen the bonds of friendship.
 
Many chapters interact with other organizations on campus, including chapters of the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity – Gamma Sigma Sigma’s national brothers in service.
