About Us

Our Mission Statement

The purpose of Gamma Iota Sigma is to encourage, establish, and enhance the professionalism of students in the Risk Management, Healthcare Risk Management, and Actuarial Science programs. As a fraternal organization, we also strive to build a sense of community and cohesion among members while improving their career opportunities through increased knowledge of the industry. In addition, we aim to prepare our members to interact comfortably with industry leaders and form contacts that will serve them throughout their career. We will carry this out by utilizing valuable resources, including our International Grand Chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma, the Fox School of Business and Management, a rich tradition in a strong professional team network and a Distinguished Alumni Chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma.

Gamma Iota Sigma Emblem

The Emblem is a shield in the shape of inverted triangle. Inside a narrow border are Greek letters for Gamma Iota Sigma. Each of three sides symbolizes three of four fraternal ideals.

 

Gamma Iota Sigma Coat of Arms

The Coat of Arms for Gamma Iota Sigma is in the shape of what is known as a fire mark. Fire marks were made of iron and placed on the exterior of the buildings on insured properties so as to identify the specific fire company that, in the event of a fire, would serve to extinguish it. The fire mark is decorated with the symbol of the four clasped right hands. Each hand is representative of one of the four ideals upon which the fraternity is based. Beneath clasped hands are the Greek letters for Gamma Iota Sigma.
