Greater Service, Greater Progress
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority was incorporated within the state of Indiana in November of 1922 and as a national collegiate sorority on December 30, 1929, at which time a charter was granted and the Alpha chapter was established. Founded in the midst of segregation, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority is the only sorority of the four historically African American sororities which comprise the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), to be established at a predominantly white campus. Sigma Gamma Rho also supports two affiliates: the RHOERS, a group of young women, and PHILOS, women who are friends of the sorority. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority has over 85,000 members with more than 500 undergraduate and alumnae chapters throughout the United States, Bahamas, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, Germany, and South Korea.
