philos

Since its founding, Sigma Gamma Rho has fostered unity among women, including those outside Greek-lettered organizations. These women were first organized into auxiliaries under various names until 1954, when the sorority officially recognized them as “Philo” (meaning Friend). By 1980, the Philos had established a national presence and had since grown to represent hundreds of women across various regions. Through countless hours of service and significant financial contributions, they continue to support Sigma Gamma Rho’s mission to improve the quality of life in communities everywhere.

A love for youth and their development inspired Founder Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little to establish Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. The Rhoers Club was founded by her on July 7, 1939, during the Sorority’s 14th Biannual Boule in New York City, NY, creating a space for young girls to learn leadership, heritage, and service. Today, Rhoers continue to grow as confident young women dedicated to serving their communities.

The Rhosebud Club is an affiliate group of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., comprising 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 help cultivate girls as they grow into well-rounded young ladies who 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.
