The commitment of Sigma Gamma Rho to service is expressed in its slogan: "GREATER SERVICE, GREATER PROGRESS." The sorority has a proud history of offering service wherever chapters exist, including national and undergraduate tutoring programs, a partnership with March of Dimes to help unwed mothers, and a New York-based Vocational Guidance and Workshop Center. Other National Projects include: Wee Savers, a financial seminar designed for young people ages 6-18, and the Gift of Life Membership Club that provides resources for the Judie Davis Bone Marrow Donor Recruitment Program. Sigma Gamma Rho has also joined forces with Habitat for Humanity, International to build low-income housing in communities all over the country.
From a global perspective, Sigma Gamma Rho has created Project Africa, in conjunction with Africare, to provide thousands of dollars to buy grain ginders for African women to alleviate their back breaking work.
