WELCOME TO THE 2025-2026 SORORITY YEAR

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF SISTERHOOD, SCHOLARSHIP, AND SERVICE

 Fifty years ago, a young woman named Georgia Harris had an idea to bring Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. to the campus of Fort Valley State University. The task was not easy, but with the help of the alumnae chapter in Atlanta, Georgia, and regional members, her vision became reality. In 1975, both the Zeta Pi undergraduate chapter and the Delta Pi Sigma Alumnae chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. were chartered at Fort Valley State University in Fort Valley, Georgia. Now here we are, fifty years later, bigger, better, and GREATER than ever! We must thank, our pearl, Soror Georgia Harris, for her vision and continued service to Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. 

Our History

 Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority was officially incorporated in Indiana on November 12, 1922, and achieved national collegiate status when it received its charter on December 30, 1929, establishing the Alpha chapter. Founded during a time of segregation, Sigma Gamma Rho is unique as the only sorority among the four historically African American sororities that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) to be established at a predominantly white institution.

Affiliates and Membership

Sigma Gamma Rho also supports two affiliate groups:

RHOSEBUDS: A group for young girls ages 8 - 11 years old 

RHOERS: A group focused on young women ages 12-18 years old.

Currently, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority boasts over 85,000 members and comprises more than 500 undergraduate and alumnae chapters across the United States, as well as internationally in the Bahamas, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, Germany, and South Korea.

INTERNATIONAL WATER SAFETY MONTH

 

Swim 1922 is our national call to action to save lives through water safety and swim education. In partnership with USA Swimming Foundation, Sigma Gamma Rho is breaking generational barriers and closing the racial gap in swim instruction by teaching communities—especially youth of color—that swimming is not just a sport, it’s a survival skill.

Through hands-on swim clinics, safety workshops, and drowning prevention awareness, we’re reaching families, building confidence, and making the water safer for everyone.

Because knowledge saves lives—and we’re here to make waves of change.
