Sigma Gamma Rho began with seven school teachers that wanted to make a difference in their community. Promoting unity among women is the legacy that bonds over 72,000 because somebody cared and somebody worked and somebody had a vision.

The Founders of Sigma Gamma Rho knew what they had to do to ensure the survival of our people. They taught us that we must strive for excellence, hence not only should we serve but we should go the extra mile and provide Greater Service. Sigma Gamma Rho has remained on course since 1922 by enhancing the quality of life within our communities.
