GAMMA

Gamma Beta Chi National Service Fraternity is a non-profit, African American founded, male organization whose history dates back to 1959 on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Gamma Beta Chi takes pride in being the first intercollegiate Greek-letter service fraternity established for men of African descent. Our fraternity's lineage began from an idea, which was initiated by five distinguished Gentlemen of Quality. These young visionaries had a desire to strive and instill not only service in the hearts of all collegiate young men, but new collegiate standards, in accordance with our fraternity's purpose: "To be men striving for academic excellence, self-betterment, and unification of our community; Through tireless service we will help to alleviate social and economic hardships as we work to build a stronger, more intelligent, and business-minded brotherhood." The primary focus of Gamma Beta Chi is EDUCATION; however, Gamma Beta Chi has many community service focuses such as Red Cross of America and Habitat for Humanity. Gamma Beta Chi constantly focuses on blood drives, disaster relief, fire loss, and other major areas. Another major community focus is the GAMMA DEBONAIR Mentor Program for high school men where Gamma Beta Chi serves directly as mentors and tutors, targeting our Primary Focus of Education and showing them that positive men do till exist.
