About Us
Greater Service, Greater Progress
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated was founded November 12, 1922 in Indianapolis, Indiana at Butler University by seven school teachers: Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian Irene White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Annette Dulin Redford, Bessie Mae Downey Rhoades Martin and Cubena McClure.
Our Story
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated is a community service-based organization. SGRho is the ONLY historically African-American sorority within the Divine 9 to be founded at a primarily white institution (at a time of heavy segregation) and in an area of heavy KKK presence (Indianapolis, Indiana). It was in these conditions that our founders took the risk to create an organization to bring the community together and better our future. As a sorority, our focus is on sisterhood, scholarship, and service. As a Sigma woman, you are "the best version of you". Joining does not change you, you are encouraged to be yourself. Our organization enhances. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. is made up of a diverse group of women from all walks of life, various cultures, styles, and personalities. On-campus, the Beta Pi chapter strives to continue to build and uplift the community, not just at ASU but throughout Arizona.
