You know we had to celebrate THEE pretty poodles of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. who’ve been running the 11th month for 102 years of sisterhood, scholarship, and service.
Since 1922, the ‘Greater Women’ have shined at the forefront of societal contributions with notable members including Hattie McDaniel (the first Black woman to win an Academy Award), Marsha Ambrosius, Wendy Raquel Robinson, LaTavia Roberson, Nicci Gilbert, and our American Idol Fantasia Barrino.
The Grammy-nominated singer joined Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. as an honorary member alongside Grammy-nominated singer Alexis Jones, Emmy-nominated event producer Yvonne Mcnair, and OSMO’s Global Head of Communications Shawn Smith on the final day of Centennial Founders’ Month.
Founded on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana by seven young educators, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. now boasts over 100,000 members in over 500 chapters that emphasize social action and community impact in their commitment to serve.
“We are an organization with accolades described as “first” and “only,” said Sigma Gamma Rho International President Rasheeda S. Liberty in an interview with EBONY.
“In the last 100 years, we have been able to leverage our education mantra through our Operation Big Book Bag initiative and our Annual Youth Symposium. Over the years, we have measured impact in areas of scholarship, social action, health and wellness, career advancement, and youth development. We live by the motto of “Greater Service, Greater Progress.”
In this century of service, we have progressed our communities by being the first and only in corporate leadership, medical innovation, athletic accomplishments and award-winning entertainers.”
