Eta Sigma Gamma, the National Professional Health Education Honorary, has
its purpose to elevate the standards, ideals, competence, and ethics of
professionally trained men and women in the discipline of health education.
The Greek letters Eta, Sigma, and Gamma represent the Greek equivalents of the letters H. SC., the abbreviation of "Health Sciences." Eta Sigma Gamma was established at the national level at Ball State University, Muncie, IN, in 1967. The Pi Chapter at Western Illinois University was founded on May 10, 1974...to further the professional competence and dedication of individual members of the health science professions. The symbol for Eta Sigma Gamma is a triangle surrounded by three joined circles. The triangle is divided into 4 equilateral triangles: in the center triangle is a lamp of learning; surrounding triangles contain an open book representing teaching, a microscope signifying research and an outstretched hand denoting service. These three elements are unified by the lamp of learning, for through learning each is achieved. The honorary is governed by the National Executive Committee. A national Council of Delegates consists of one representative from each collegiate chapter; meetings are held annually. Collegiate chapters are granted to institutions of higher education that offer a degree program in school health education and/or community/public health education. As future health education professionals, chapter initiates share with members the responsibility of maintaining the honor and integrity of Eta Sigma Gamma. Initiates represent the future for the honorary; we must work together to keep alive the Gamman spirit. |
