Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority is celebrating its 95th year anniversary this week. Founded on November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana, by seven young educators, the Theta Psi chapter was chartered May 7th, 1982 by three African-American women at Iowa State.

“This is important because for 13 years, the Iowa State community has been missing Sigma,” said Jasmine Scott, public relations chair of Sigma Gamma Rho. “It’s the time for us to show the community what we’re about and why we are here to stay.”

Starting today, Sigma Gamma Rho will be holding a variety of events this week to celebrate their anniversary. Check out the details of the week’s events here:
