SIGMA GAMMA RHO SORORITY INC, was founded seventy-five golden years ago on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority is the youngest sorority in the National Pan-Hellenic Council and remains the first and only historically African-American collegiate sorority founded on a predominantly white campus. This non-profit service and social organization was founded on November 12, 1922–a time when higher education for women and African-Americans was difficult to obtain.  Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority’s aim is to enhance the quality of life within the community. Public service, leadership development and education of youth are the hallmark of the organization’s programs and activities. Sigma Gamma Rho addresses concerns that impact society educationally, civically, and economically. Despite all odds, seven dynamic, spiritual and strong African-American women rose to meet the needs of the African-American and women communities by organizing this stellar institution. And today, seventy-five years later,  Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority continues to be a beacon of light for all. Here are some of their famous members
