*7* Things I LOVE about SIGMA!

[PhDiva]

Though I am not a member of Sigma Gamma Rho, I wanted to send some love...

Things I LOVE about Sigma....

1. Definitely the history...the circumstances by which an organization was founded has a great impact on its mission, vision and values. The fact that Sigma Gamma Rho was founded amidst the nadir (lowest point) of American race relations away from the "protection" of the black community speaks volumes about your founders' courage and foresight. You can see how this history plays out in the current administration of the national organization and affliate chapters.

2. Elite without being "elitist" - the Sigma women I've encountered are intelligent, hardworking and progress-minded but at the same time they really work for the good of the community and embody the principle of "lifting as we climb". I have yet to encounter a Sigma woman who made me feel like she was too good to interact with me because I am non-Greek.

3. Defying stereotypes, labels and boxes - Sigma women come in all shapes, sizes, skin colors and backgrounds. I've never heard anyone attribute a certain "look" to Sigma women because Sigma women are diverse.

4. Strong work ethic - As a supervisor for a staff of 10 workers, I appreciate how hard the Sigma woman I supervised worked, and took their jobs seriously. They handled business which in turn made me take a leap of faith and give them additional opportunities for advancement.

5. Collegiality - The Sigma women I worked with in #4 were always showing love to other Greeks even in the face of criticism about being small or founded later.

6. Education/Youth focused programming - Your founders obviously knew that educating our youth was the key to progress as a community. I'm impressed with how that legacy lives on at the national and local level.

7. Openness/Friendly nature - Most Sigma women I've encountered are just good down to earth folks that realize how you interact with people will reflect on how people view your organization in either a positive or negative way. Maybe the smaller numbers lends itself to treating people with respect instead of as a "number".

I like this thread VERY much......

1. Sigma women are REAL, all day every day!
2. Our seven founders were bold and fearless!
3. With few exceptions (hello neophyte shows in certain areas ) Sigma woman are about Greek Unity. We pride ourselves in knowing the important and public history of all of the NPHC organizations, not just ours.
4. Rhoyal Blue and Antique Gold are regal colors befitting the QUEENS that we are!
5. Greater Service, Greater Progress are not just words we say, we are about the business of community service.
6. My mom and I have the BEST times together at chapter meetings, Regionals, Boules, etc...
7. Everyday I learn from my Sorors whether they were made in 1959 or in Spring 2006!
