Members of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Incorporated held their
Area 3 meeting in Toledo, Saturday, October 15, 2016 at
Promedica’s Donald Kellermeyer Education Center. The one-day
series of professional development workshops, program
development trainings and sorority news also included two
local service projects.
Attendees were asked to bring actual dimes for March of
Dimes, which were collected at registration. Also the
sorority’s youth affiliate, the Rhoer Club, prepared meals
and provided service hours at Ronald McDonald House of NW
Ohio.
“Sigma Gamma Rho is known for the service we provide and
this meeting is constructed to give the membership tools and
resources needed to meet their needs,” said Regional
Director Delia A
Harris.
An estimated 200 sorority women, Philo Affiliate members and
Rhoer Club members travelled from various cities including:
Akron, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Chicago, Columbus, and
Detroit.
"The 2016 Central Region Ohio State Meeting marks the second
largest gathering of our members of the state apart from our
annual Regional Conference,” explained Harris.
The meeting was organized by local affiliate, Iota Theta
Sigma Chapter of Toledo, Ohio under the leadership of local
president Kimberly Grable and Area hostess Artisha Lawson.
“Members of
the Regional Board of Directors, in collaboration with our
State Director Tia Goodlett of Worthington, OH and members
of the local Toledo Alumnae Chapter planned and hosted this
special event. Under the leadership of local Basileus
Kimberly Grable and Hostess Artisha Lawson, the membership
and affiliates executed service projects, workshops and
training events to help members enhance their impact in the
various communities where the sorority operates in the state
of Ohio,” said Harris.
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. was founded in 1922 by seven
educators at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Currently over 90,000 women across five regions complete
various local and international initiatives under the motto,
“Greater Service, Greater Progress.” The sorority’s official
affiliates are Philo Affiliate and Rhoer Club, and service
projects are under the slogan, “H3, It’s All About Me!”
which focuses on Healthy Living, Healthy Choices and Healthy
Generations.
