PHILO AFFILIATE
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 that had 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.
In 1980, the Philos were organized on a national level and have since grown to represent hundreds of women organized on a regional level. The Philos have contributed countless hours of community service and thousands of dollars aiding Sigma Gamma Rho’s aim to enhance the quality of life within every community.
RHOER CLUB
A love for youth and the development of their full potential was the primary motivating factor that inspired Founder Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little to organize Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. Young people, today, face challenges that could never have been imagined years ago; however, such challenges provide the sorority with opportunities to carry on Little’s vision.
Rhoers are young girls 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.
RHOSEBUD CLUB
The Rhosebud Club is for any young girl between the ages of 8 and 11 years old. Just like the petals of a rose, the Rhosebuds are handled with special care and attention.
It is with great honor that the local Graduate Chapters can play a role in helping support young girls as they grow up into the young ladies of the future. We know that the future is in the hands of our children, and we strive to cultivate our Rhosebuds into becoming well-educated, well-rounded, and productive citizens.
