Meet Soror Tonya Fugett
For Soror Tonya Fugett, service is more than giving backāit is an opportunity to bring awareness to issues that can change the course of a womanās life.
A graduate of the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma, Soror Fugett earned a Masterās degree in Human Relations and currently serves professionally as a Human Resources Business Partner. Outside of her career, she enjoys traveling and watching television.
Soror Fugettās decision to become a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was inspired by the excellent character she witnessed among members of an undergraduate chapter. Their example of sisterhood and service left a lasting impression and ultimately influenced her own journey into SGRho, Sorority, Inc.
Of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.ās five essential programs, the Womenās Wellness Initiative holds a particularly meaningful place in Soror Fugettās heart. Her connection to the initiative is personal. Her mother experienced breast cancer, giving Soror Fugett a firsthand understanding of how deeply the disease can affect not only a woman, but her entire family. She has also witnessed family members and friends experience domestic violence, further strengthening her passion for womenās health, safety, and well-being.
These experiences are why this initiative means so much to her. Soror Fugett believes education and awareness can empower women to recognize warning signs, seek help, advocate for their health, and make informed decisions for themselves and their families.
October provides a powerful opportunity to bring both causes to the forefront. Breast Cancer Awareness Month, including Pink Week, October 13ā15, 2026, and Domestic Violence Awareness Month, represented by purple, allow us to educate, support, and stand alongside women whose lives have been touched by these issues.
For Soror Fugett, the Womenās Wellness Initiative is not simply a community projectāit is service with a personal connection and a purpose.
