GSSA focused on advocacy and education, as well as creating a space for LGBTQ students on campus. In 1999, members from student groups including GSSA, Black Student Alliance, and Jewish Student Organization created a temporary advocacy group called Student Association for Equality (SAFE) to protest the University's decision to ban same-sex unions in Wait Chapel.
