Gamma Iota
Gamma Iota Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta was founded at Mercer University on February 27, 1960, making 2010 our 50th Anniversary! Since our founding, the sisters of Gamma Iota have contributed to the campus and community in social, philanthropic, and leadership areas. Being true to the nature of our mascot the squirrel, the typical Gamma Iota is energetic, lively, and involved as Residence Assistants, Special Events Team members, Bear Force workers, big sisters thru Big Brothers Big Sisters, QuadWorks and Mercer Singers, just to name a few. Gamma Iota also has a long tradition of being a Jewel Chapter, meaning that through our dedication to our philanthropy, we have raised over $2,000 a year for the research of Juvenile Diabetes. Nevertheless, sisters still find time to have fun during our several mixers, Moonlight and Roses formal, sisterhood events and much more!
