Gamma Alpha Lambda History

Gamma Alpha Lambda (ΓΑΛ) became an official Missouri State University Religious Sorority on September 16, 2003. It was not only the first Christian Sorority on the campus of Missouri State University but also the first Christian sorority in all of the Midwest.Fact|date=August 2008

The unique idea of Gamma Alpha Lambda originated at the Baptist Student Union in the Spring of 2003. It was loosely organized and more or less a social organization. However, the founding mothers, Brooke Bayer, Lindsay White, Sarah Jo Buchanan, Laura Davis, Emily Brooker, and Dr. Debra McDowell decided to take the organization to the next level. The sorority was founded with a need to combat the typical stereotype of a sorority and be an alternative to a social sorority.

In the Summer of 2005 GAL became a national organization, as well as seeing the creation of a board of directors that advise the organization.

During the 2006 school year, GAL's membership at Missouri State reached over 100.

In the Spring of 2007 saw the creation of the Beta Chapter at Northwest Missouri State University, the Delta Chapter at Missouri Valley College, and also the Gamma Chapter at University of University of Missouri–Kansas City.
