Sorry about that! It's been a little while since then.

Has there been an effort by GSS to become more actively inclusive of men, like by specifically targeting them in recruitment? I guess what I'm really wanting to know is: why is male membership so uncommon, if the ultimate goal is to be inclusive?
NITY?

There was never an exclusion, as far as I remember. Our purpose is "to assemble college and university students in the spirit of service to humanity and to develop friendship among students of all races and creeds." Not women, students.

I can only speak to my experience on my campus at the time, so I will not and cannot answer your question. I can tell you that recruitment is not formal; therefore, each chapter does things a bit differently.

I strongly suggest that if you want more information on the history and mission of Gamma Sigma Sigma, visit: http://gammasigmasigma.org/home.html
