Greetings from the President

On behalf of the Gamma Zeta Chapter, I would personally like to greet all sorors, affiliates, and visitors to our official website.  In 1963, the chapter was chartered, and in 1998, the chapter was reactivated, and has since made continual efforts to educate the Indianapolis community on the name of Sigma and what lies behind this outstanding organization.  From the beginning to the end of the 2008/2009 sorority year we will uphold our slogan “Greater Service, Greater Progress”.

The ladies of the 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 look at and participate in any and every one of our upcoming events. 

Forever Sigma,

Dawn Crittenden
President
Gamma Zeta Chapter
