History
Gamma Sigma Delta, the Honor Society of Agriculture, established its South Dakota State University chapter on May 27, 1958. The organization recognizes high standards of scholarship and achievement in agriculture and related disciplines, including forestry and natural resources. The chapter was formed to promote academic excellence, professionalism, and service within the university’s agricultural programs.
The SDSU chapter has participated in national activities of the society, including hosting the national conclave in 1974 under the theme “Agriculture in the Modern World.” Chapter members have received recognition at both the national and international levels, including awards for distinguished service to agriculture. Through its activities and recognition programs, the chapter has supported scholarly and professional achievement within the agricultural community.
