In preparation for the Annual Conference, chapters were asked to create a roll call video highlighting Gamma Iota Sigma and the uniqueness of their chapter. Over the years this has transformed into an annual social media competition where the top roll call skits are presented at the Annual Conference. Please take the time to watch the 2019 roll call videos and
like/comment on your favorite. Check out last year's winning skit from the
Eta Chapter at the
University of Georgia!
