Happy (belated) Founder’s Day to all of my SoRHOrs of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.! Founded on the Irvington campus at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana, we celebrated 103 years of sisterhood, scholarship, and service on November 12. Even though the official anniversary was earlier this week, the pride and joy of SGRho continue to radiate today.

This year’s celebration is especially meaningful for me, as it marks my first Founder’s Day since being inducted into the sorority as an honorary member. To say I’m honored is an understatement. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself representing Sigma Gamma Rho—but baby, when purpose calls you, you answer. And on July 5, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana, I answered that call and found my tribe.

The love, the laughter, the light, and the sisterhood feel like home. Being an A Sigma woman has deepened my understanding of what true sisterhood and service look like, because we don’t just talk about community—we move for it.

As we celebrate 103 years, we don’t just celebrate our sorority’s longevity. We don’t just honor the service, sisterhood, and scholarship that Sigma Gamma Rho was built on, We also pay tribute to our seven phenomenal founders — 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 — seven resiliant trailblazing educators who believed in women’s ability to uplift, educate, and transform communities. A vision that was BIGGER than creating a sisterhood; it was to build a movement that made women GREATER. GREAT in mind, GREAT in service, and most of all, GREAT in spirit. And over a century later, we remain committed to upholding that mission.

I beam with pride knowing I’m walking in the footsteps of so many beautiful, brilliant women who are great and committed to energizing Greater for women, girls, and the world. Below you’ll find a few of our powerhouse Sorors who have influenced culture, provoked change and entertained and enlightened the world.
