Mission: Gamma Sigma Delta is a faculty governed society that selects its members from junior and senior students,
graduate students, faculty, and alumni for the promotion and recognition of high achievement. 

Chapter History: Gamma Sigma Delta began as a professional agricultural fraternity at the Ohio State University in 1905 and in 1971 became a national honor organization. The University of
Connecticut became a collegiate chapter in 1954. 

Membership eligibility: Junior and senior students who scholastically rank in the upper 15% of their class and show promise of leadership may be nominated each year. No more than 15% of the senior class can be members. Graduate students of outstanding ability who have shown great potential for future leadership in agriculture can be nominated by chapter members. Faculty with at least three years of work in agriculture and related sciences who have outstanding performance in the areas of teaching, research, and/or extension are eligible for election. Alumni are eligible for election five or more years after graduation if they have provided outstanding service to agriculture and have demonstrated their worthiness of the honor. While Gamma Sigma Delta is an honor society of agriculture, it may elect members from related fields.
