Sisterhood, Scholarship, and Service

During the 2009-2010 Sorority Year the Theta Lambda Sigma Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Incorporated has continued its focus on Sisterhood with an emphasis on enhancing the relationships we have within the chapter and the Sorority. We have elected to take this same initiative to the community we serve by providing our skills and abilities to local women. During a 6 part series, entitled “Sister II Sister”, we will continue to dedicate ourselves to the same purpose of sisterhood in the community. By doing so, we hope to help build a better community and improve the lives of the women we encounter.
