The Theta Zeta Sigma Chapter is honored to volunteer at the South Lawn Elementary Veteran's Day Breakfast. Our members will be joining the school community to serve breakfast, show appreciation, and spend time with the veterans who have dedicated their lives to serving our country. This event is a small way for us to give back and express our gratitude to those who have sacrificed so much. We look forward to making this day special for the veterans and sharing in a morning of reflection, recognition, and appreciation.

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was organized on November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana, by seven young educators: Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian Irene 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 the Alpha chapter at Butler University. Since its inception, the dynamic women of Sigma Gamma Rho have built and sustained a well-known and well-respected reputation for leading positive change to help uplift the community through sisterhood, leadership, and service.

October is recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, symbolized by a purple ribbon representing peace, courage, survival, honor, and a commitment to ending violence. Every minute, an average of 24 people in the U.S. experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, amounting to more than 12 million affected women and men each year. For more in-depth statistics and resources, visit www.thehotline.org or reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline by calling (800) 799-7233 or texting "BEGIN" to 88788.

The Theta Zeta Sigma Chapter is raising awareness through a special event!

As part of Theta Zeta Sigma’s continued support of womens wellness, during October, we are taking time to honor and recognize the women who have bravely fought and continue to fight against breast cancer. Approximately 13% of women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, making it the second leading cause of cancer death among women. As part of our commitment to this cause, we are participating in the Susan G. Komen Pink Walk and attending Pink Sunday church services to raise awareness. Please take a moment to send a prayer for those you know and those you may not, as this month is a time for strength, hope, and unity.

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. The Symposium (supported by undergraduate chapters and affiliates) is designed to highlight some of the prevalent concerns that negatively impact our youth (drugs, teen violence, abuse, low self-esteem, suicide, teen pregnancy, human trafficking, etc.).

The late Dr. LaRona J. Morris, Past Grand Basileus (National President), was the originator of this nationwide, one-day symposium. Dr. Morris initiated this program under her administration during the periods of 1996 – 2000. We are honored to continue her thrust to empower youth in our communities through hands-on, interactive leadership activities centered on a relevant annual theme. The Youth Symposium has a standardized agenda and program package to be used nationwide.

Our goal is to be relevant in the lives of our youth.

• Program Benefits:

• Improved educational outcomes.

• Improved behavioral outcomes.

• A highly anticipated annual event supported by local communities.
