Tasha Harwick, of Whitehall, was recently inducted into Gamma Sigma Alpha National Honor Society at Kutztown University.

Gamma Sigma Alpha is for students who are members of a social Greek organization and have at least a 3.5 GPA in their junior or senior year. Gamma Sigma Alpha was founded at University of Southern California on Nov. 9, 1989, by a group of scholastic achievers representing various fraternities and sororities dedicated to the advancement of higher education and academic accomplishment. Led by Beth K. Saul, the university’s visionary sorority adviser, a national board was established the following year to promote the organization’s ideals on campuses across the country.

Gamma Sigma Alpha quickly grew to more than 190 chapters in a little more than a decade. Today, this honor society has more than 215 chapters and recognizes nearly 2,000 members of fraternities and sororities each year.
