History
Gamma Sigma Delta, also known as the Honor Society of Agriculture, is a professional agricultural fraternity. The South Dakota State University chapter was established on May 27, 1958, to encourage and recognize high standards and achievements in agriculture. In 1974, SDSU hosted the national Gamma Sigma Delta conclave, themed “Agriculture in the Modern World.” The chapter was the bronze runner-up for the Outstanding Chapter Award in 2010 and received the Chapter Enrichment Grant in 1998. Notably, Dr. Oscar E. Olson, a chapter member, won the International Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award in 1979.
