Membership

The House that Artists and Creators Join

Membership in Gamma Xi Phi

Membership is by invitation only.

Gamma Xi Phi is an all-gender professional fraternity welcoming artists and arts-serving professionals through professional and collegiate chapters.

The type of artist who receives an invitation to join our organization typically has the following characteristics:

  • High achievement in their craft or field
  • Demonstrated commitment to social justice and anti-racism
  • Interest in uplifting and mentoring other artists
  • Dedication to the growth of the fraternity
  • Deep community connections
  • Desire for community through timeless fraternal values
  • Embraces art forms and artists historically rejected or ignored by Euro-centric arts conventions

Potential members of Gamma Xi Phi reject racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other prejudices which stifle the arts and hamper the advancement of humanity.

I want to push myself further while also being involved in something bigger than myself.

As I add Gamma Xi Phi to my plate, I hope to gain a strong network of artists committed to social justice, liberation, and critical consciousness-building, in communities of color to collaborate and grow with.

Membership Experiences

It is possible to join Gamma Xi Phi via collegiate chapters and through professional chapters. While collegiate chapters are connected to a single college or university, professional chapters are chartered for adults who can sustain a chapter in a geographic service area. Additionally, artists living in rural, remote, or international areas may be eligible for at-large membership.

Collegiate Membership

Collegiate membership is available to students and advisors attending colleges and universities that agree to host a chapter. Potential members of collegiate chapters may download and distribute the Membership and Expansion Prospectus.

Professional Membership

Potential members of established professional chapters may contact the chapter’s Program Director or Membership Director for membership information.

Those interested in chartering a new professional chapter should review the Membership and Expansion Prospectus and then contact the National Executive Director.

At-Large and International Membership

Artists and arts-serving professionals living in rural, remote, or international areas should download and review the Membership and Expansion Prospectus, and then contact the National Executive Director for next steps.
