This collection documents both groups.

It was considered the most active departmental club on the campus. This resulted in a petition in 1926, for the society to become a national fraternity known as the Gamma Sigma Epsilon Chemical Fraternity. The Gamma Sigma Epsilon, Alpha Gamma chapter began at WFU in 1926 with the intention to promote academic excellence and undergraduate research scholarship.</p> </bioghist> <arrangement id="aspace_2867d2cb8ba3e0fd915d6eb024de4186"> <head>Arrangement</head> <p>This collection is organized into two series: 1.
