Gamma Sigma Alpha (ΓΣΑ, 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]
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
