Welcome to the official website of the Central New York Ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho, serving the greater Finger Lakes Region.
Since 1981, Sigma Gamma Rho has been making its impact on the Central NY region through "Greater Service, Greater Progress." We are women of substance who are united in sisterhood. We don’t fit the typical sorority mold; rather we redefine expectations in all that we do.

Sisterhood
Sigma Gamma Rho is notable for its drive to make society better through sisterhood and empowerment. We offer valuable efforts and programs to achieve greater progress in the areas of education, health awareness, and leadership development. We make a difference by promoting the greater good among women and supporting initiatives that align with our vision.
Service
Sigma Gamma Rho’s commitment to service is expressed in its slogan, “Greater Service, Greater Progress.” We have a proud history of providing positive and proactive community outreach. Sigma Gamma Rho enhances the quality of life for women and their families in the U.S. and globally. Over 500 chapters in the U.S and abroad openly welcome women aspiring to advance sisterhood, scholarship, and service.
Scholarship
At a time when an education for African Americans was difficult to attain, the Founders of Sigma Gamma Rho became educators. They believed that the self-respect, knowledge and discipline gained through education would help individuals to recognize their duty and responsibility for their society. Thus, Sigma Gamma Rho was founded on the precept of education and continues to promote and encourage high scholastic achievement.
