Councils for Gamma Sigma Sigma

[ree-Xi]

When I was an undergrad GSS, we did not belong to any "Greek council". There was only us and APO, and we answered to the Student Activities/Leadership Development council. I would guess that a lot has to do with campus regulations. But GSS is not part of any national umbrella organization.

We assisted the Lambda Theta Phi guys during their pre-colonolization process during my last year on campus, but GSS disbanded the semester after I left, so I don't know what the story is today, although I know several other Latin and MC groups, and an NPC colonized since I graduated.

I have to ask, and I mean this in the most unassuming way - why so much interest in Gamma Sig?

In this case, its more to get a feeling for APO and Gamma Sig as to where they tend to end up in councils. (I also asked over on the APO page) I'm looking at the situation at a chapter I'm assigned to and wanted to see how various schools ran "councils" that service greeks were placed on. I can't personally imagine a situation where APO would be appropriate for a council that GSS wouldn't and vice versa.

The times in which our National board will make an exception to our overall rule of not allowing our chapters to join a council is 1) the school requires them to be in a council in order to function on campus, usually as a non-voting member or 2) membership in the council does not interfere with the sorority's non-selectivity policy.

We do have some Gamma Sig chapters that are members of "Special Interest" greek councils or councils in which other orgs who are not already part of another greek council formed. My collegiate chapter at Georgia State is a part of MGC.
