I'll try to keep it short and sweet...
Basically what turned me on to Sigma Gamma Rho was something one of my (now) sorors said in an interest meeting. Her words were:
"Sigma Gamma Rho is not begging anyone to become a member. We are doing fine by ourselves. We are small, but we ALL do the work. I'm not going to sit here and tell you what to do. I want you to make an educated decision. Look at everybody! We'll call you when we get together and you're welcome to do things with us. We're not pressuring you at all. Even if you decide to join another sorority, you're still welcome to hang out with us."
This is what made me want to be a Sigma Gamma Rho. The ladies weren't lecturing me about how great the sorority is and a list of accomplishments, but they were showing me their sisterhood, scholarship, and service by their personalities and sincerity. No stereotype. No pressure. I could be me! I wanted something to accentuate who I already was, not to become something else. I'm a great person all by myself! That's why chose that RHOyal Blue & Antique Gold... EEEEEE-YIP!!!
... dang, that wasn't "short & sweet"... well, it just wasn't short.
