Greetings Ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho (and lurking Philos :) )
I am writing because I am interested in the Philo Club and would like to know any additional information that anyone can provide. I have already been in contact with my local chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho's president (grad chapter) as well as the National Philo Advisor, Wanda Nelson. I've also looked at the national website and several individual chapter websites to gain information and loved what I saw! Moreso than anything I would like to know what the requirements are to start a Philo Club. I would appreciate any help that you lovely ladies can give me. Feel free to e-mail me at songstress_2004@hotmail.com. I would also love to hear from any current Philo Club members about your experiences in the club. Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you all!!

If you are already in touch with a local grad chapter, they can answer any questions you might have. Do they currently have an active Philo Club? If not, are they interested in starting or reactivating their club? You cannot start a Philo Club on your own without grad chapter sponsorship and advisement. So your first order of business is to find a grad chapter that either currently has an active club or is willing to start/reactivate their club.
Some basic requirements and information:
Philos work closely with grad chapter members and assist with Sigma projects and programs in addition to hosting their own. They also attend the sorority's regional and national conferences and have their own local, regional, and national officers. Philos also believe in and support the goals and aims of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.
Potential Philos are women who believe in sisterhood and service, who want to support the aims and goals of Sigma Gamma Rho and improve their communities, and are accomplished in their own right, but do not possess BA. degrees and are not currently enrolled in a 4 yr. degree program. At least 5 women are needed to start or reactivate a club. Many Philos are the mothers, sisters, other female relatives, and friends of Sigma Gamma Rho members.
If you are interested in becoming a Philo in the Philadelphia area, please send me a PM. Otherwise contact a grad chapter in your area. Good Luck!
