1. The History! - Truly speaks for itself. What started as 7 young educators at a small predominately white midwestern university in the early 1920's has blossomed like the beautiful Tea RHOse into the Legacy of RHOyalty we share today that binds women from all around the globe.

**Our history is truly unique. We are and remain the First and ONLY Historically African American sorority founded on a predominately white campus.

Our history was created within the framework of a very hostile, racially charged, isolated environment. We did not have the support base of the black community. Our 7 Founder's sidestepped racism and sexism to found the 4th largest historically African American sorority in existence today.

2.Our Diversity! Although historically African American, our sorority has embraced women from all races, ethnicities, and walks of life since our inception. We do not need a "multi-cultural" label because our membership reflects our value of a women's individuality and the selection of only a chosen few. Our International Website can currently be viewed in French and Spanish.

Quality transcends all types of racial and social constructs we create for ourselves and reaches into every community of stellar women. The only thing that is common about a Sigma woman is that we are truly "WOMEN OF SUBSTANCE".

3.Our Elite Status You know sorors, people have jokes on us all day long about our size, but in reality our size is truly a blessing. Every member counts! I appreciate the fact that I KNOW somebody in every chapter that crosses in my state! I appreciate the fact that because we keep our memebrship ELITE I do NOT have the option of walking past another soror. We do not come into contact with Sigma women so frequently that we lose the joy and excitement of meeting a new sister. Don't be fooled by the hype sorors, keep it tight, Keep it tight, KEEP THE SISTERHOOD TIGHT LADIES!

4.Colors of RHOyalty! I LOVE our colors, RHOyal Blue and Gold are so beautiful together and they our reflective our RHOyal Legacy of Greatness.

5."Greater Service, Greater Progress" We don't just say it, we LIVE IT. We may only be 4 deep, but we provice service and give back to our community on a level that rivals that of chapters 40 deep. (Refer to the Elite size post). We are SERIOUS about service! I really appreciate our committment to the community - no need is to great or too small for us to tackle. That is why EVERY member we select must be of a "different breed" because we have real work to do sorors.

6. Tha Pretty Poodle Club! Did I mention that we are cute?! Sorors we can dress our behinds off. I've ran into MANY a sophisticated soror, whose pleasant personality instantly made you feel right at home. I like the fact that we can floss and not have to diminish another's "shine" to make ourselves look better. Oh and did I mention IT's ALL ABOUT THOSE SEXY 6'S?! One time for the club! *grin*

7.The Number of Perfection ...because it took "3 rough drafts before the masterpiece". ...because it only took 7 WOMEN to paint the world RHOyal Blue and Gold. ....because many are called but Sigma only CHOSES a Quality FEW...because there are NO WEAK WOMEN HERE.
...because I LOVE MY SIGMA GAMMA RHO!


Eeee-Yip!


Happy 81st Founders Day Sorors on Wednesday November 12, 2003!
