💙 Making Waves in Our Community! 💛

From May 9th–15th, the Beta Xi Sigma Petersburg Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was proud to partner with the YMCA during their Safety Around Water Week in support of our Swim 1922 initiative.

Through this impactful program, we were able to reach and positively impact over 200 families in our community! 🌊🏊🏾‍♀️

Our chapter donated and assembled 200 swag bags and proudly presented seven swim scholarships to community members to help continue their swim and water safety journey.

Swim 1922 remains an important initiative dedicated to increasing water safety awareness and reducing drowning disparities within underserved communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve, educate, and empower families through this meaningful partnership.

On May 12th, the Beta Xi Sigma Petersburg Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. proudly celebrated the installation of our Adopt-A-Spot sign in the City of Petersburg! 💙💛

Through the City’s Adopt-A-Spot Program, caring citizens and organizations work together to preserve and maintain the beauty of our community by removing litter and caring for local roadways. We are honored to do our part in service to Petersburg.

This installation holds special significance as our sign stands at the historic site of Peabody High School, part of the Civil Rights in Education Heritage Trail. Peabody High School is recognized as the earliest known public high school for African Americans in Virginia and represents a powerful legacy of educational excellence, resilience, and progress.

As a sorority founded by seven educators, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. remains deeply connected to the transformative power of education and community uplift. To have our chapter represented at such a historic location is both meaningful and inspiring.

We are proud to continue serving, preserving history, and making a lasting impact in the communities we call home.

Join the Movement. Wear Denim. Raise Awareness.
On this Denim Day, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. continues its legacy of advocacy by using our voices to support survivors and challenge the harmful myths surrounding sexual violence.
Why Denim?�The campaign began after a 1999 Italian Supreme Court ruling overturned a r**e conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans. The justices claimed that because the jeans were so tight, the victim must have helped remove them—implying consent. The next day, women in the Italian Parliament wore jeans in protest, and a movement was born.
Since then, Denim Day has become a powerful annual tradition where people wear jeans to stand in solidarity with survivors and challenge victim-blaming attitudes.
