Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority was founded Novemeber 12, 1922 at Butler University in Indianapolis Indiana by seven school teachers; Mary Lou Gardner Little, Nannie Mae G. Johnson, Vivian White Marbury, Bessie Rhodes Martin, Cubena McClure, Hattie Dulin Redford, and Dorothy Hanley Whiteside. The sorority was estabished as a Greek letter organization for teachers. It offered an opportunity for fellowship, and encouraged professional growth through the exchange of ideas. The focus was on service and achievement through higher education. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. now welcomes women from all professions who are dedicated to community service and achievement. Sigma slogan "Greater Service, Greater Progress" denotes a feeling of respect for others, as well as a job well done. It is our expression of stature and our strivings for quality. Sigma's colors, Royal Blue and Gold present the Sigma Soror in her glorious wealth of values, truth and purity. Sigma's flower is the Yellow Tea Rose, like the Sigma Soror it is beautiful, strong, and radiant. The beautiful and delicate, both have the strength to withstand trials, caused by man and nature. Eta Mu Sigma Chapter was chartered Novemeber 7, 1991. We participate in a number of activites and projects including, but not limited to; Operation Big Book Bag, Benefit Baby Shower, Scholarship Shopping Trip, and Youth Symposium. Through our chapter work we uphold the Sigma traditions of "Greater Service, Greater Progress". |
