SIGMA GAMMA RHO
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. (ΣΓΡ) is a historically African American sorority and international collegiate and non-profit community service organization that was founded on November 12, 1922, by seven young educators on the Irvington campus (1875-1928) of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was incorporated within the state of Indiana in November 1922 and became a national collegiate sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter was granted to the Alpha chapter. Founded in the midst of segregation, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. is the only sorority of the four historically African American National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) sororities established at a predominantly white institution instead of at Howard University.
