The Financial Commitment

Upon induction into Sigma Gamma Rho, you are expected to be lifetime financial members. Although life can throw challenges at you from time to time that may hinder you from fulfilling your financial duties, we must learn to lean on the shield. Some chapters have programs in place to assist financially challenged sorors with their dues. Even if you can’t pay your dues, your time is still a valuable asset to the sisterhood.

Leadership Development

By joining SGRho you will undergo Leadership Development. Leadership Development is a natural part of being in this sorority.

*Some sorors will go on to hold highly visible local, regional and national offices, however every Soror will lead in some way.

*Committee assignments, recruitment planning and execution, and representing the organization all provide opportunities to develop public speaking skills, presentation skills, motivational skills, and organizational skills will be honed.

Life Long Friendships

One of the main motivators for joining a sorority is friendship. Finding a group of friends can make a tremendous difference in feeling integrated into life versus feeling like another individual. Sigma Gamma Rho provides a home away from home with a group of supportive women who will cheer you on and provide encouragement during low times. Most Sorors have developed at least a few lifelong friendships that continue in spite of distance and time.

Community Service

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. has national programs to which all chapters/regions contribute in meaningful ways. Beyond this, Sorors/Chapters tend to be very service oriented and also participate in other community activities that benefit their local areas. There are multiple opportunities presented each year by both the individual chapters as well as the Sisterhood as a whole to participate in.

Networking

Membership in SGRho definitely provides networking opportunities.

Many leadership positions on campus and even world wide are held by a member of a fraternity or sorority. Networking in SGRho opens the door to meeting other leaders and finding avenues for networking. SGRho has a network of chapters throughout the regions and internationally where Sorors can enjoy their membership as they travel around the world.

Social Activities

SGRhos love their social events and by joining the sorority certainly expands your social opportunities. Sorors are very creative in offering a variety of social event themes and outlets for fun. Some of these social events involve collaborating with other organizations and some are only for Sorors. In either case, a Soror has the opportunity to keep her social calendar as full as she desires.
