Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., gives leadership,
service, and resources toward removing barriers
and inequalities so that all people of America
may develop their potential and exercise full
citizenship.
Through support of human rights legislation, service
to and support of grass roots individual and
community development activity, and through active
participation in the programs of affiliate and
other organizations, we are committed to working
to improve the quality of our lives and the society
we serve.
Sigma Gamma Rho, in its quest to expand its area of
service, actively participates in the sponsoring
of national and international programs designed for
the improved welfare of all people.
Since Eta Nu Sigma's chartering in 1991, some
of the chapter's service activities have included
its Wee Savers program, which provides financial
workshops to youth throughout Brooklyn, Operation
Big Book Bag, during which the chapter donates
hundreds of dollars worth of school supplies
to under-privileged grade schoolers, and annual
participation in New York Cares Day.
More recently, Eta Nu Sigma provided assistance
to Assembly member Rhoda S. Jacobs (D-Flatbush,
Midwood) with the chapter's donation of 30 new
car seats for Pre-Kindergarteners in Community
School Board 22. Eta Nu Sigma's commitment
to spreading awareness about the importance of
using seat belts, through Sigma Gamma Rho's national
program, “Buckle-Up America,' continues to be
the one of the chapter's hallmark contributions.
Eta Nu Sigma Alumnae Chapter has also collaborated
with many organizations, which have included: Girl
Scouts Council of Greater New York; Board of
Education of the City of New York; Gay Men's
Health Crisis (GMHC) for Annual AIDS WALK New
York; Brownsville Recreational Center, and the
AllStars Network, led by Dr. Lenora Fulani. Working
with local organizations has allowed the chapter
to broaden its reach outside of its national
programs.
