ETA SIGMA GAMMA

Eta Sigma Gamma was founded on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, on August 14, 1967. The principal purpose of Eta Sigma Gamma identified in the structural documents is to elevate the standards, ideals, competence, and ethics of professionally trained men and women in and for the health science discipline.

On October 19, 2001 the Department of Public Health at Southern Connecticut State University established an Eta Sigma Gamma chapter. Initiation ceremonies are now held each spring semester, and new members will be invited to join the honorary based on their academic accomplishments, service, teaching, and/or research activities. Once approved, there is a one-time initiation fee of $40 for joining the honorary (this fee includes first-year dues.) Annual dues are $35 per year for students and $50 for professionals. Each member, upon initiation, receives a certificate of membership and the official pin of the honorary. Graduating seniors are awarded honor cords to wear during the graduation ceremony. In addition, membership includes a subscription to the Health Educator and the Health Education Monograph. Annual awards are presented by the national office as well as through the collegiate chapter.

Eta Sigma Gamma membership requirements for SCSU students are as follows:
