Sigma Gamma Rho
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc was founded seventy-five
golden years ago on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis,
Indiana. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority is the youngest sorority in the National
Pan-Hellenic Council
and remains the first and only historically African-American collegiate
sorority founded on a
predominantly white campus. This non-profit service and social
organization was founded on
November 12, 1922--a time when higher education for women and
African-Americans was difficult
to obtain.
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority's aim is to enhance the quality of
life within the community.
Public service, leadership development and education of youth are the
hallmark of the organization's
programs and activities. Sigma Gamma Rho addresses concerns that impact
society educationally,
civically, and economically. Despite all odds, seven dynamic, spiritual
and strong African-American
women rose to meet the needs of the African-American and women communities
by organizing this
stellar institution. And today, seventy-five years later, Sigma Gamma Rho
Sorority continues to be a
beacon of light for all.
