Interesting FACTS That Some May Not Know About Your Organization

It may not have been as clear as you needed it to be, but I brought up SGRho being the first BGLO for women educators. Also, the NPHC was not created until after their founding as well as after the amending of the constitution. Therefore, contacting the NPHC would be null and void.

back to the regularly scheduled thread...

Yes and no. Yes because you state that they didn't need any type of approval(which I feel that's hard to believe). No because I wasn't referring to anything pertaining to the NPHC(due to it being founded after the sorority was founded). Alpha Kappa Alpha had to get approval from the officers of Howard University as well as Delta Sigma Theta(which was all before the founding of the NPHC). However, since certain people feel that I'm throwing the thread off track, my topic can be dropped. Based on what has been posted, it seems that it doesn't matter if there was an existing organization on campus with similar interests, but it depends on the approval from the officers of the university.

Back to your regulary scheduled program.

No matter how much We want Our GLO to be The One, there is no GLO who is bad!

If some tell you that shy away from them!

While Chapters can not be good, there are many others who are so much better!

Beleive it or not, GLOs can be Regional.

I see what you are saying, but that pertained to Alpha Chapter at Howard for incorporation purposes. And I don't remember ever reading that DST had to prove it had a different purpose than AKA before HU would recognize them.

Until then Sigma Gamma Rho was a professional sorority in the city of Indianapolis in Indiana. Also, while our constitution was amended in 1925 to allow women pursuing various degrees (not just education) to seek membership, we did then and continue today, to support programs and initiatives which focus on educating the youth and our communities.

Thank you.

It appears the only THING troubled is YOU. Maybe she can squeeze her soror in for an analysis free of charge. BTW, you may want to pick your eyes up. That's not lady like. Then again................

Soror, I am enjoying your responses. I didn't have time to spell it out like you did. This is what I meant by "foot in what door?"

I know soror that's why I wanted to create this thread. There is a whole lot that greeks and non-greeks don't know about the different orgs.; things that are not a secret but are just less known. And I think that the unity between the NPHC orgs. in particular can only be strengthened by knowing this information.

So true. So I thank you for creating this thread.

Now that is an interesting tidbit--the fact that your first collegiate chapter was not charted until seven years after your founding. The opposite of the rest of us who were founded by collegiates.

Sigma Gamma Rho did not receive its charter for the Alpha chapter at Butler U. until 1929, but we were founded by collegiate women. All of the founders were undergrads at Butler U., were graduates of Normal schools (2 yr. teachers' schools) in Indiana, and were teaching in Indiana at the time that Sigma Gamma Rho was founded.

Brigadier General Paul Tibbits (Sigma Nu) was the pilot of the Enola Gay (Named after his mother) who flew the plane that dropped the A-Bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Tibbits would have also been the pilot of the plane to drop the thrid A-Bomb had Japan not surrendered. At the time of the surrender the A-Bomb was on its way from Utah to California to be shipped to the South Pacific.
