GREEK FACT OF THE WEEK!!!

Did you know that Sigma Gamma Rho has an affiliate program for young ladies ages 12-18? Its called the Rhoer Club. 

A love for youth and the development of their full potential was the primary motivating factor that inspired Founder Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little to organize Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. Young people today face challenges that could never have been imagined years ago, but such challenges provide the sorority with opportunities to carry on the vision of Little.
Rhoers are young girls organized on a local, regional and national level. The Rhoer affiliates are working to help other young people while they learn about their heritage and develop leadership skills. Sigma Gamma Rho is dedicated to helping Rhoers to grow to be women of substance dedicated to service.

This Saturday, August 31, 2013 Zeta Tau Sigma will host a interest meeting for young ladies. If interested please RSVP to ztsrhoerclub@gmail.com.

Sorority Year Kick-Off SOCIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This past Saturday, August 24, 2013, Sorors of Zeta Tau Sigma and guests joined in fellowship, fun, and food at Lauriol Plaza in Washington, DC.

Sorors enjoyed Spanish and Latin American cuisine in the wonderful warm weather. We had buffalo wings and chips and authentic salsa. The buffalo wings went fast and we couldn't get enough salsa to go with our warm tortilla chips. By the time we left the restaurant the waiting area inside was packed and there was a line outside to get in.  The food was great, the weather was nice but being in the company of our Sorors was the best experience of all. Check out the photos and join us for more social events coming this year. EEE-YIP!!!!
