Description
-
An interior view of Gamma Sigma Hall on the top floor of Marsh Hall on the Pacific University campus sometime between 1895-1910s. This was a meeting room for Gamma Sigma, a independent Greek Letter Society (or fraternity) whose members were students, alumni and faculty of Pacific University. The society was founded in 1863 and is believed to be the oldest Greek Letter society west of the Mississippi River. In its early years, most of the fraternity's activities centered on literary and academic events such as readings and debates. By 1900, although it still held debates, it was more focused on social activities such as banquets, parties and other events hosted together with campus sororities.
