Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority— A group of seven teachers founded Sigma Gamma Rho in 1922 at Butler University in Indianapolis – basing the sorority’s values on sisterhood, honesty, respect and accountability. Its mission, in part, is to “enhance the quality of life for women and their families in the U.S. and globally through community service.”

Today, the organization boasts more than 85,000 sorors in seven countries. Celebrity sisters include Kelly Price, MC Lyte, U.S. Rep. Corine Brown (D-Florida).
