History
When Marquette University went co-ed in 1924, there was a desire for a women's honor society alongside the all-male Alpha Sigma Nu which had been created nine years prior. Gamma Pi Epsilon was approved in 1924 and the first chapter chartered on April 6, 1925 at Marquette University. Josephine Newell O’Gorman is considered the founder of Gamma Pi Epsilon. == Symbols ==
