Greetings from the President
I would like to welcome all sorors, affiliates, and visitors to the official website of Gamma Zeta Chapter. In 1963, the chapter was chartered and has continued to promote Sigma in the Indianapolis community. We will remain dedicated to our slogan, “Greater Service, Greater Progress”, throughout the 2007/2008 sorority year.
The ladies of Gamma Zeta Chapter have been working hard to make sure the chapter has an exciting and eventful year. With the spirit of Sigma in our hearts, we will continue to excel educationally, civically, and economically.
Thank you for visiting our website and feel free to take a look at our upcoming events.
Forever Sigma
Vicky Whitaker
President
Gamma Zeta Chapter
