Gamma Sigma Girls is a unique leadership development program offered by Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas in partnership with San Antonio Independent School District. This pilot program combines the proven outcomes of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience with a “sorority-type” setting, targeting teen girls in high school who have a limited history of Girl Scouts in their family or the community.

Similar to a sorority, Gamma Sigma Girls (GSG) will bring girls together through the bond of sisterhood and allow them to explore common interests in a safe space. Unlike other extracurricular activities at school, GSG does not require members to have a special talent, skill or minimum GPA.

You just have to be a girl. That’s it.

As Gamma Sigma Girls, teens will choose to focus on one of three areas: advocacy, taking action, and being college bound.

• Advocacy: Girls will identify a cause they are passionate about and work toward effecting social change.
• Take Action: Girls will become positive change agents in their community when they participate in service projects that benefit the world around them.
• College Bound: Girls will explore opportunities to help them decide on a career path, and work toward achieving a higher education.
