The Philo Affiliate ~ "Friends of Sigma"
Since
its inception, Sigma Gamma Rho has promoted unity among women and for
years many alumnae chapters worked with individuals who were not members
of Greek-lettered organizations. These women were organized into auxiliaries
that had various names until 1954 when the sorority officially approved
the organized affiliate group and accepted the name of "Philo"(meaning
Friend) as their official name.
In 1980 the Philos were organized on a national level and have grown
to represent hundreds of women organized on a regional level as well.
The Philos have contributed countless hours of community service and
thousands of dollars to aid Sigma Gamma Rho's aim to enhance the quality
of life within every community.
