Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. Gamma Kappa Chapter

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was founded on November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana, by seven young educators: Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Annette Dulin Redford, Bessie Mae Downey Rhoades Martin and Cubena McClure.

The group became an incorporated national collegiate sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter was granted to Alpha chapter at Butler University.  Soaring To Greater Heights Of Attainment Around The World, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., as a leading national service organization, has met the challenges of the day and continues to grow through Sisterhood, Scholarship and Service.

The Gamma Kappa Chapter was chartered on June 14th, 1964 at California State University, Long Beach becoming the first Black Greek Letter organization on  campus.  As a chapter and a sorority, our slogan is "Greater Service, Greater Progress", indicating that service to the community is the organization's highest priority. On-campus activities include:

• Canned Food Drive

• Clothes Drives

• Academic and Educational workshops

• And much more!

Responsibility, stability, discipline, purpose and self-respect set the level of scholastic expectancy for the chapter members and prospects. Collective striving for these qualities of character remains at the foundation of the women of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated.
