Historia
Organized on November 3, 1905 by St. Cloud State faculty member Isabel Lawrence, Gamma Sigma Sigma was originally known as the Story Teller’s Club. Its purpose as a literary society for women to develop literary powers and improve ability to tell stories. The club aimed to broaden culture through reading and discussion, promote friendship, and develop character.
In 1953, the Story Teller’s Club changed its name to Sigma Theta Chi. In April 1959, Sigma Theta Chi pledged to Gamma Sigma Sigma, a national service sorority. In March 1960, the name officially changed to Gamma Sigma Sigma, whose purpose was to "assemble St. Cloud State College women in the spirit of service to humanity." The last reference of Gamma Sigma Sigma was in academic year 1972/73 relating to their work with a blood drive.
