What is the RHOer Club?
The RHOer Club is an affiliate (little sister) oaganization of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., with the sole emphasis upon molding fine characters and the beatifull personalities of young women.
What is the purpose of the RHOer Club?
Rhoer Clubs were originally founded in 1939 at the 14th International Boule of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority in New York City. Rhoers were traditionally high school aged girls who participated in many of the activities of the sorority as well as special youth development programs designed by the sorority. In 1996, Emily Gunter, teacher, motivational speaker, and author, coordinated the sorority's Rites of Passage Program at the various regional conferences. Believing that the community's most "valuable resource is the youth," Rhoer Clubs offer girls a positive experience designed to train them to be leaders and to teach them the values of self respect and responsibility. Young ladies in the RHOer club are provided scholastic guidance, community service opportunities and academic advice by Sigma Sorors, while promoting community, social, political, and economic awareness. Today there are currently over 300 Rhoers across the country. Young women preparing for their futures today.
