International Board

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was organized on November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana, by seven young educators: Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian Irene White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Annette Dulin Redford, Bessie Mae Downey Rhoades Martin and Cubena McClure. The group became an incorporated national collegiate sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter was granted to Alpha chapter at Butler University. Since its inception, the dynamic women of Sigma Gamma Rho have built and sustained a well-known and well-respected reputation for leading positive change to uplift communities through sisterhood, leadership, and service. The Board of Directors is comprised of the National Officers, Founders, and the Regional Syntaktes, Undergraduate Chapter Coordinator, and Youth Services Coordinator of each region. Past Grand Basilei serve on the board in an honorary capacity.
