Philos

[MsCoCo81]

Hello!

I am trying to find out some information on the Sigma Philo organization. I have done some research,but am coming up with very little.

Can someone please give light on this organization, or point me in the direction of someone or something that does. I would be very appreciative!

[jubilance1922]

I would start with our international website, www.sgrho1922.org

Every grad chapter sponsors their own philo club so you need to first get in touch with a grad chapter; the one nearest you. Where are you located?

I live in atlanta, and currently I am spearheading a recruitement for Philos. I just was trying to get some more info to tell the ladies that I was trying to recruite, but so far with my lack of info we have about 15 ladies interested, including me. I am excited! Do you have any info that I can give them or should I just wait for our meeting? It is on Sat Morning, with the VP of the sponsoring chapter.

Thanks!

Just wait for your meeting. Since you are already established with a grad chapter contact, she can give you all the information you need. There is not much more that we could tell you other than what's on the website. Like, rhoyal tempest said, every grad chapter sponsors their own philo club.

Thanks ladies, for your insight and info!

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!

They have an active chapter in the town that's about 30 miles away. They said there was talk of forming a chapter where I live but nothing was set in concrete. Thank you for answering one of the main questions in my mind which was how many women it takes to start a club. At this point in time there are only two of us so we'll have to see what other options are available to us. Thank you so much for the information. Too bad I don't live in Philly! lol
