The History Behind the Sigma Gamma Rho Founding Date
Understanding the Sigma Gamma Rho founding date means appreciating the context in which it happened. In 1922, opportunities for Black women in higher education were limited, and Greek life was largely inaccessible. Seven educators at Butler University—Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Annette Dulin Redford, Bessie Mae Downey Rhodes Martin, and Cubena McClure—decided to create their own path forward.
They envisioned an organization that would champion education and community service while providing sisterhood and support. From its inception on November 12, 1922, Sigma Gamma Rho has remained committed to greater service and greater progress. The sorority became the first to establish a youth auxiliary and has consistently led initiatives focused on community uplift.
Today, Sigma Gamma Rho boasts over 500 chapters worldwide and continues the work started by its founders nearly a century ago. Each year, members gather on Sigma Gamma Rho Founders Day to celebrate this rich history and recommit to the values established in 1922. Wearing commemorative apparel and displaying paraphernalia becomes a way to visibly honor that commitment.
At Betty's Promos Plus, we understand the significance of these symbols. That's why our Sigma Gamma Rho collection features items that authentically represent your organization's heritage.
Sigma Gamma Rho Founders Day Apparel for Every Celebration
When November 12th approaches, members start planning their Founders Day outfits with intention. The right apparel doesn't just look good—it tells a story about your connection to the sisterhood and your respect for those who came before you. Choosing pieces that feature the founding date adds an extra layer of meaning to your celebration.
Sigma Gamma Rho apparel at Betty's Promos Plus ranges from casual tees perfect for daytime events to polished polos suitable for more formal gatherings. Each piece is available in sizes S–4XL, ensuring every member can find her fit. Materials are selected for comfort and durability, so your Founders Day gear lasts year after year.
Layering becomes important as Founders Day falls during cooler weather in many parts of the country. Our Sigma Gamma Rho outerwear collection includes jackets and hoodies that let you stay warm while showing your colors. Pair a jacket featuring "1922" with jeans and sneakers for a casual chapter gathering, or dress it up over slacks for a community service event.
The versatility of quality apparel means you're not limited to wearing it once a year. Many members incorporate their Sigma Gamma Rho Founders Day gifts into regular rotation, wearing them to chapter meetings, service projects, homecoming events, and casual outings. When you invest in well-made pieces from an authorized vendor, you're building a wardrobe that serves you throughout the year.
Coordinating outfits for group photos has never been easier. When your whole chapter shows up in matching tees or complementary pieces from the same collection, the visual impact is powerful. It demonstrates organizational strength and creates lasting memories captured in photos shared for years to come. Shop Sigma Gamma Rho Apparel
Choosing Meaningful Sigma Gamma Rho Founders Day Gifts for Your Sorors
Gift-giving during Founders Day celebrations strengthens bonds between line sisters and chapter members. Selecting Sigma Gamma Rho Founders Day gifts requires thought about the recipient's style, her role in the chapter, and what will genuinely resonate with her. Fortunately, Betty's Promos Plus offers options for every personality and preference.
For the soror who loves fashion-forward pieces, apparel items featuring the founding date make excellent choices. These gifts balance style with substance, allowing her to showcase her affiliation while staying on-trend. A well-fitted tee or polo becomes a wardrobe staple she'll reach for repeatedly.
Consider practical items for the soror who's always on the go. Auto accessories that display "1922" let her represent everywhere she drives, turning her car into a mobile billboard for the sisterhood. These items work particularly well for sorors who commute to work or frequently travel for chapter business.
Jewelry and lapel pins serve as subtle yet sophisticated ways to display affiliation in professional settings. A soror who works in a corporate environment can wear a tasteful pin to the office, maintaining professional dress standards while quietly signaling her membership to those who recognize the symbols.
Home décor items create conversation starters for sorors who love hosting gatherings. A decorative street sign or framed piece featuring the founding date adds personality to her space while celebrating her sisterhood. These pieces work especially well as gifts for sorors who've recently moved or purchased a home.
When selecting Sigma Gamma Rho Founders Day gifts, presentation matters. Consider adding a handwritten card explaining why you chose that specific item and what the founding date means to you personally. This thoughtful touch transforms a nice gift into a cherished keepsake.

Planning Your Sigma Gamma Rho Founders Day Celebration
Founders Day celebrations take many forms depending on chapter size, location, and tradition. Some chapters host formal banquets requiring dress attire and commemorative programs. Others organize community service projects that embody the founders' commitment to service. Many chapters blend both approaches with a day of service followed by an evening celebration.
Planning begins weeks in advance as committees form and members claim roles. Decorating committees scout for items featuring "1922" and the sorority's colors. Program chairs compile historical information and invite speakers who can speak to the legacy. Fundraising teams organize raffles or silent auctions featuring paraphernalia items.
Apparel coordination often happens through group orders where members select matching or complementary pieces. Chapter social chairs create wish lists and share product links so everyone can purchase from the same collection. This approach ensures cohesive photos and creates excitement as members anticipate receiving their items.
Interactive elements add engagement to Founders Day programs. Trivia games testing knowledge about the seven founders, the Sigma Gamma Rho founding date, and organizational milestones educate newer members while entertaining veterans. Stations where members write gratitude notes to the founders create meaningful moments of reflection.
Social media plays an increasing role in modern celebrations. Chapters create custom hashtags, post throwback photos, and share real-time updates throughout their events. Members tag their locations and connect with sorors celebrating in other cities. This digital component extends the celebration beyond physical gatherings and strengthens the sense of global sisterhood.
