On November 12, 1922, at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana, seven schoolteachers formed Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., a historically black collegiate organization. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life within our communities. Public service, leadership development and the education of youth are the hallmark of the organization’s programs and activities.
In honor of these principles, the Iota Epsilon Sigma Chapter has established a book scholarship to be awarded to a female, graduating senior, entering her freshman year at a two or four-year accredited college or university. The scholarship award (various denominations) will be made available for use in the college/university bookstore, with the funds being disbursed at the beginning of the semester.
