SIGMA GAMMA RHO

  Seven young ladies who dedicated themselves to academic excellence and community service founded Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. on November 12, 1922 at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. The sorority became an incorporated national collegiate sorority on December 30, 1929. Their motto is “ Greater Service, Greater Progress. “ Leadership training programs for teenagers and youth are sponsored at the national and local levels as means of implementing the national project of the sorority, which is known as National Youth Projects. These programs are geared around youth and their development.

The Alpha Zeta Chapter was founded at Virginia State University in 1936.  Community service activities include participating in the Petersburg Public Schools Reading Program, sponsoring the Miss Rhomania Pageant in which pre-teens participate in a variety of activities for social and cultural development. The colors are royal blue and gold .
