LGBTQ+ Youth Finding EXcellence
Gamma in OUR Community
Gamma in OUR Community
#GammaLife
September 2010, while at St. John’s Bread of Life kitchen feeding the homeless, two old friends who'd lost touch reunited to serve. During service, they discussed what they felt they had to offer to the community of lesbians and allies who wanted to give back and make a lasting impact in the LGBTQ+ community. This conversation lead to many more and sparked an idea. On October 27, 2010 the two put their ideas to paper and created the Gamma shield, esoteric symbols, chose colors, and implemented ideals, ushering in the birth of Epsilon Xi Gamma, Incorporated.

The first members of Epsilon Xi Gamma, Inc. represented all facets of the communities we serve; college students, military professionals, corporate professionals; and encompassed both lesbians and allies.

To forever solidify their legacy, this group of EXceptional women became integral in helping Gamma establish itself as a legal 501c(10) non-profit organization in the United States.
