What is Gamma Iota Sigma?
Gamma Iota Sigma is a professional fraternity organized to: promote, encourage and sustain student interest in insurance, risk management and actuarial science as professions; encourage high moral and scholarship attainments; facilitate the interaction and cooperation of educational institutions, industry, and professional organizations by fostering research scholarship, and improved public relations. Gamma Iota Sigma collegiate chapters have been chartered on over 40 college campuses and is now an international organization.
Collegiate chapters rely on the Grand Chapter to coordinate Gamma Iota Sigma worldwide. While each university group has its own unique image as a professional student organization, the role of the Grand Chapter is to unify these efforts into international organization. Alumni Chapters have been charted in major metropolitan areas.
The Grand Chapter provides a variety of services to collegiate and alumni chapters. It publishes a Monthly Newsletter carrying collegiate and alumni chapter news and events; publishes The Sextant newsletter twice yearly; reviews requests for new chapters; charters new chapters; and serves chapters in a variety of other ways.
