Greater Service, Greater Progress
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated was founded on November 12, 1922, on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. The sorority, which is the only one of the four National Pan-Hellenic Council sororities started on a predominantly white college campus, was chartered by seven school teachers who were determined to create an organization of women who were committed to higher education, dedicated to youth, living by the highest ethical standards, and rendering unselfish service to make a better society.
On May 1, 1937, eight women chartered Omicron Sigma Alumnae Chapter in Memphis, TN, one of the largest graduate chapters in Southeastern Region. As their numbers grew, they saw a need to further their Founders’ dream of achievement through higher education, and thus, expanded their services in the community through the awarding of college scholarships to highly talented and deserving graduating high school seniors.
