The Gamma Kappa Alpha Chapter at St. John's University was
founded by Professor Gaetano Cipolla in 1984 who continues as its
Coordinator.
The Gamma Kappa Alpha National Italian Honor Society is a
society formed to acknowledge superior scholastic performance in
the field of Italian language, literature and culture, and is open
to membership at institutions of higher learning in the United
States and Canada.
The Society encourages college students to acquire a greater
interest in, and a deeper understanding of, Italian culture, art
and history. The organization recognizes outstanding undergraduate
scholarship in the field of Italian by awarding annually the Gamma
Kappa Alpha Award for Scholarship.
