List of Gamma Sigma Delta chapters

Gamma Sigma Delta is a co-ed honor society for students of agriculture and the related sciences.^[1] Its first six chapters began as Delta Theta Sigma.^[1] Where several of these six had closed, at refounding, they have been installed subsequently as a Gamma Sigma Delta chapter with a later chartering date.^[1] The creation of chapters continued after the 2012 History was written, with the 2014 establishment of a chapter at Massachusetts according to the fraternity's website.

Notes

↑ Continued as the Alpha chapter of Delta Theta Sigma with no legal connection with Gamma Sigma Delta. Two decades later, a chapter of Gamma Sigma Delta was established on the Ohio State campus.
↑ Refounded in 1922 after the demise of this earlier chapter
↑ Refounded in 1981.
↑ Refounded after demise of earlier chapter
↑ Establishment of this chapter was approved on Dec. 27, 1923, with 16 members present. There is no further reference to this chapter in minutes of any Biennial Conclave.
↑ This chapter was established on the same campus as the original founding chapter. That previous group, which had remained Delta Theta Sigma, had thus essentially reverted to local status.
