Storrs, CT – The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life (OFSL) is proud to announce the reactivation of Gamma Sigma Alpha at UConn!

Gamma Sigma Alpha National Academic Greek Honor Society (GSA) is the premier organization committed to the academic success of our members and alignment with the academic missions of our host institutions. Students are eligible for membership based on grade point average and membership in a Greek fraternity or sorority. The Society strives to uphold the high ideals of scholastic achievement and therefore, only students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above (on a 4.0 scale) at the start of their junior year or a grade point average of 3.5 or higher in any semester during their junior or senior year are eligible. Gamma Sigma Alpha is headquartered in Colorado, with over 215 chapters across the country and in Canada.

STORRS, CT – The University of Connecticut Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life (OFSL) is pleased to announce the launch of its brand new website (greeklife.uconn.edu).

The previous version of the site was designed almost seven years ago. Since technology changes so fast, saying that “the old Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life website was outdated” would be an understatement. The new website offers a contemporary look and structural enhancements based on the feedback that was received from a communications survey the office conducted earlier this semester.

In keeping with one of this year’s goals, the new website will offer a streamlined user experience and will showcase the new identity to the public. The goal was to develop a more resourceful tool for alumni, current and potential members, advisors, fraternal partners, family and friends. The OFSL hopes that the new website offers quick and easy access to essential material which is part of OFSL’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and availability of information.

Website content corrections and suggestions can be directed to Jamel Catoe, Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life.
