Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was organized on November 12, 1922 in Indianapolis, Indiana by seven young educators: Mary Lou Allison Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Dulin Redford, Bessie M. Downey Martin and Cubena McClure. The group became an incorporated national collegiate sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter was granted to the Alpha chapter at Butler University.
From seven young educators, Sigma Gamma Rho has become an international service organization comprised of women from every profession. Sigma Gamma Rho offers its members opportunities to develop their unique talents through leadership training and involvement in sorority activities. Sorority activities provide an atmosphere where friendships and professional contacts are developed which often lead to bonds that last a lifetime.
Sigma Gamma Rho's commitment to service is expressed in its slogan, "Greater Service, Greater Progress." The sorority has a proud history of offering service wherever chapters exist, including OPERATION BigBookBag, a program designed to address the needs, challenges and issues that face school-aged children who are educationally at-risk in local homeless shelters and extended care hospitals.
"Greater Service, Greater Progress" is what we live by and uphold in our everyday lives. We stay true to this slogan through the various community service activities that we participate in throughout the sorority year.
Beta Kappa Sigma's community service includes, but is not limited to the following:
Basileus – Valerie Poindexter Tamiochus - Robin Philyor
1st Anti-Basileus – Vacant Epistoleus - Kenya Woodard
2nd Anti-Basileus – Stevonia Dixon
3rd Anti-Basileus - Tanya Batchelor
Grammateus - Erika Range
