We have another non-Greek organization that has expressed an interest, however, we would prefer these frames stay within the Greek community at K-State.  If your organization would like more information please call

GAMMA
Greeks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol

Are you interested in forming a peer education group that works as a team to identify high-risk student behavior and then creatively develops ways to educate Greek members?

 

GAMMA is a leadership program specifically for fraternity and sorority members who agree to be advocates to their chapter members. GAMMA members can lead the way for learning more about health and safety issues, and reduce some of the high-risk behaviors that can cause harm to individuals or to the chapter.
