I really did not know that he wasn't aware that I was a member of Sigma Gamma Rho and I kept saying that we were having a fundraiser and we this and we that (referring to Sigma) and he asked "who is we? are you referring to you and James (my husband)". I quickly responded, no Sigma Gamma Rho. After I said that he was shocked and responded with " You are a Rho.I would have never thought you were interested in Sigma Gamma Rho, I thought probably Delta maybe but not SGRho". I was very offended and I asked him why he would think like that. He really had no answer and said "Well, the Rhos are cool too". (Yeah he kept calling us Rhos!!)
It really bothers me too when others make it seem as if Sigma Gamma Rho is second best to other sororities. Most of the time, I just brush it off my shoulders and wear my letters proud because in my heart I know the truth, my sorors know the truth as do our supporters. We are very beautiful (in every sense of the word), strong and intelligent women (just to name a few of our qualities). Whoever can't see that is really blind.
I LOVE SIGMA!!!!

I HATE HATE HATE being called a Rho...I've hung on many a misguided man (several who were Greek themselves) for referring to me or my beloved sorority as "Rho"...
I blame the Phi Betas for this...if they chose to use their first letter like everyone else we wouldn't have this confusion.
