National Programs

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., is fully committed to assisting those in need, as well as the betterment of communities around the globe. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority works in partnership with national support organizations including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), National Urban League, The United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and many others. The Sorority has a proud history of offering service wherever chapters exists under the auspice of the organization’s signature program entitled, Project Reassurance, which is broken even further into five essential programs under it's umbrella:

SWIM 1922

Sigma Gamma Rho’s Swim 1922 campaign aims to address the swimming disparity by having Olympians and members of the sorority teach the community about water safety and how to swim.

ANNUAL YOUTH SYMPOSIUM

Held simultaneously, on the second Saturday of March by Alumnae Chapters across the nation, our Youth Symposium serves as a unifying effort during Sigma Week.

WOMEN'S WELLNESS INITIATIVE

The Women’s Wellness Initiative is a consolidated effort that allows chapters to focus on health issues that impact women; specifically, women of color, such a Breast Cancer Awareness, Intimate and Domestic Violence, Heart Health, Diabetes Health, Mental Health and other issues that target women.

PROJECT CRADLE CARE

A collaboration between Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and the March of Dimes, Project Cradle Care Prenatal Health Program seeks to improve pregnancy outcomes in high-risk communities by increasing the number of women of childbearing age who receive adequate prenatal education and care.

Operation Big Book Bag is a program designed to address the needs, challenges and issues that face school-aged children who are educationally at-risk in local homeless shelters and extended-care hospitals and facilities.
