Purpose: To honor the achievements of artists through fellowship, philanthropy, social justice, and service.
Mission: Gamma Xi Phi promotes philanthropy and service to the arts, brotherhood among all artists, and leadership development in artistic professions through collegiate and community outreach to people of color across the world.
