Uplifting a hundred-year sisterhood.
Throughout 2022, Butler commemorated the the 100-year anniversary of the founding of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. on Butler’s campus in 1922.
Butler welcomed thousands of members of Sigma Gamma Rho to campus for The Homecoming celebration on July 12, 2022, and the Sigma Gamma Rho Founders’ Plaza monument was formally dedicated during a ceremony that commemorates the establishment of Sigma Gamma Rho on November 12, 1922.
Danny Kibble, Executive Director of Advancement for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Initiatives and Family Philanthropy, has worked alongside the leaders of Sigma Gamma Rho in planning the centennial celebration and this remarkable campus monument.
“Growing from seven individuals in Indianapolis to more than 100,000 global members is an incredible accomplishment,” Kibble said. “It has been an honor to witness the leadership of Sigma Gamma Rho International Sorority, Inc., and Butler University work together to commemorate the legacy of the seven founders of Sigma Gamma Rho. As a permanent addition to the campus landscape, this monument will allow all Bulldogs and members of Sigma Gamma Rho to recognize and celebrate the founders’ vision today and beyond.”
