Interesting FACTS That Some May Not Know About Your Organization
I started this thread so that we can learn more about one another and have a greater respect and understanding about one another. There is a lot of history behind our organizations, information that greeks and non-greeks alike may not be aware of.
So I'll start...
1. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. is the only member of the NPHC founded by 7 schoolteachers on the premise of educating Black youth.
2. Sigma Gamma Rho is the only NPHC sorority not founded at Howard University, but rather at Butler University (a predominately White institution in Indiana).
3. Sigma Gamma Rho is the only member of the NPHC which started as a professional sorority (for teachers until 1925).
4. Sigma Gamma Rho was founded in 1922 but did not become a collegiate sorority until 1929.
