Do you have what it takes?
Recommendations:
1. Do your research!
Is this the right organization for you? What is NPHC? Who is Sigma Gamma Rho? Why do you want to join?
2.Get to Know Us!
Attend events, find out what we do on and around campus. Get to know the members and make sure these are ladies you want to associate with. Joining a sorority is a life long commitment!
3. Plan ahead- Academically and Financially!
All sororities were founded on community service; this means a lot of hard work, dedication, as well as dues & other miscellaneous costs. Make sure your time management skills are up to the test, because your first priority at school is to graduate and nothing should stand in its way.
4. Discretion is Key!
Let the members of the organization know that you are interested, not the entire campus. Members need to also know that you will keep internal business internal, not external. Also, sincerity, honesty, and respect for the organization are also important when talking with members.
5. Remember Hazing is Illegal!
* No member of any Greek lettered organization has the right to subject you to anything you will not allow, i.e. violations of your personal integrity/spirituality. You have the right to walk away form a threatening situation and report it.
*Sigma Gamma Rho is a NON-HAZING organization. We adhere and recognize the hazing laws of our state and our organization, however, you should not be deceived into thinking you are going to just waltz through Sigma’s doors.
