Happy Founders’ Day to the extraordinary women of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated!

On November 12, 1922, seven visionary educators—Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian Irene White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Annette Dulin Redford, Bessie Mae Downey Rhoades Martin, and Cubena McClure—came together at Butler University in Indianapolis to charter a sisterhood destined to change the world. They founded Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated, rooted in the ideals of scholarship, service, and sisterhood. 

From its early focus on education to its transformation into a global organization, Sigma Gamma Rho expanded its mission to uplift women and communities of all walks of life. With more than 500 chapters worldwide, the sorority’s reach now spans the U.S., Canada, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Germany, South Korea, and the UAE. 

At the heart of Sigma Gamma Rho lies its slogan: “Greater Service, Greater Progress.”  Through decades of service, the “Pretty Poodles” have mobilized initiatives that span education, health awareness, leadership development, and international outreach. Whether through scholarship funds, community literacy programs, or global missions, their impact is profound and sustained.

Today, women of Sigma Gamma Rho continue to lead with excellence — as professionals, as advocates, and as change-makers.

Honoring Her Service: Women, the Divine 9, and the Power of Legacy

This Veterans Day, we honor the women whose courage and commitment have strengthened both our nation and our communities. From the front lines of battle to the pillars of leadership, women veterans continue to redefine what it means to serve — with grace, resilience, and purpose.

Among these extraordinary women are the trailblazers of the Divine 9, whose legacy of service extends far beyond college campuses. Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, and Sigma Gamma Rho have long been at the forefront of change — leading with compassion, organizing with conviction, and uplifting generations through education, advocacy, and empowerment. Their contributions to the armed forces mirror their dedication to community: steadfast, disciplined, and driven by a commitment to excellence.

Today, we recognize the women who wear both the uniform and the letters — sisters who have stood in service to their country and their sisterhood. Their sacrifices remind us that strength and femininity coexist beautifully; that leadership and elegance walk hand in hand. These women not only protect freedom but also build futures, mentor young leaders, and inspire others to rise.

At Sorority Bottoms, we stand in gratitude to every woman who has served, every sister who has led, and every veteran who continues to make a difference. Your steps — from the barracks to the boardroom — represent courage, pride, and perseverance. You embody the essence of our brand: standing on business, walking in purpose, and doing it all with unmatched style.

In honor of your service, enjoy 20% off our entire collection this Veterans Day with code VET20.

Step forward in gratitude. Step forward in strength. Step forward in Sorority Bottoms.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, continues to expand its global impact with the establishment of the Alpha Delta Alpha Omega Chapter in London, United Kingdom, on May 30th. This milestone underscores the sorority’s commitment to broadening its reach and fostering community empowerment worldwide.
