Affiliates

Since its inception, Sigma Gamma Rho has promoted unity among women and has worked with individuals who were not members of Greek-lettered organizations. These women were organized into auxiliaries in 1943 holding various names until 1954 when the sorority, officially, approved the organized affiliate group and accepted the name of "Philo"(meaning Friend) as their official name.

​​

Rhoers are for young girls ages 12-18 years of age who are organized on a local, regional and national level. The Rhoer affiliates are working to help other young people while they learn about their heritage and develop leadership skills. Sigma Gamma Rho is dedicated to helping Rhoers grow to be women of substance who are dedicated to service.

The Rhosebud Club is an affiliate group of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. consisting of ..a diverse group of girls, ages 8 through 11. Delicate like the petals of a rosebud, this affiliate group is handled with special care and attention.

​

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. seeks to play a role in helping to cultivate girls as they grow into young ladies who are well-rounded and will embody the qualities needed to be good students and productive citizens. We feel this can be best achieved through action that will contribute to the overall well-being of the Rhosebud.
