This milestone not only marks a century of commitment to its mission but also highlights the organization's enduring legacy of service, scholarship, and sisterhood.

The Sorority was founded by Seven African American Women Educators in 1922 at Butler University in Indianapolis. Despite the tumultuous presence of the Ku Klux Klan, the Founders persevered to fight racial injustice. The legacy of the Founders’ is evident in the tremendous growth over the last 101 years. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. has since grown to over 500 plus chapters worldwide, with over 100,000 dedicated members making a positive impact in their communities.

Our legacy of service, scholarship, and sisterhood remains as strong as ever."

As an organization committed to service, chapters across the globe will dedicate this weekend to service projects focused on serving our Military Veterans over the Veteran’s Day Weekend.

One of the standout achievements of the past year was the chartering of the Xi Alpha Sigma Chapter in Tokyo. The establishment of Xi Alpha Sigma Chapter represents the dedication of Sigma Gamma Rho to fostering sisterhood and service internationally.

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. achieved an extraordinary milestone with the completion of its $1 Million Dollar commitment to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
