Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority's
Affiliate Organizations
Rhoer Affiliates
The women of Sigma Gamma Rho have always had a love for youth and have worked to help them reach their full potential. Today, young people face challenges our founders could never have imagined when Sigma Gamma Rho began. Still, such challenges provide the sorority with opportunities to uphold their vision.
Established in 1939, the Rhoer Club Affiliate is a group of girls, ranging from ages 12-18. Through this club, young ladies work to support each other and their communities, while learning social, emotional, and professional skills and receiving mentorship from the women of Sigma Gamma Rho.

Philo Affiliates
Since its inception, Sigma Gamma Rho has promoted unity and service among all women, even those who were not members of the sorority or do not hold college degrees. Originally, these "friends of Sigma" were organized into auxiliaries that had various names until 1954 when the sorority officially approved the Philo Affiliate.
In 1980, the Philos were organized on a national level and have since grown to represent women organized on a local and regional level. The Philos, which means "friend," have contributed countless hours of community service and thousands of dollars to Sigma Gamma Rho’s aim to enhance the quality of life within every community.

Rhosebud Club
The Rhosebud Club is an affiliate group of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. consisting of girls, ages 8 through 11. Delicate like the petals of a rosebud, this group is handled with special care and attention.
Sigma Gamma Rho seeks to play a role in helping to cultivate girls as they grow into young women who are well-rounded and will embody the qualities needed to be good students and productive citizens.
