dedication to Sigma Gamma Rho
Sorority, Inc. and enhancing the
sisterhood. In this issue we will
highlight our community service,
affiliates, upcoming projects and
plain ‘ole fun we have within our
chapter. Thank you for being in
the number and showing your
love for thee only Sigma Gamma
Rho. I hope you enjoy our first
issue.
In Service,
Soror Keyondra Garvin
Greetings,
As we approach the New Year
and its many blessings, we take a
moment to reflect on where we
are and where we want to be. I
hope that your year has been
filled with endless memories, joy,
accomplishments and love. I also
pray for continued healing, pros-
perity, growth and covering over
you and your families.
As the Basileus of Alpha Iota
Sigma, my desire is to foster the
culture of our chapter and take
us to another level in Sisterhood,
Scholarship and most impor-
tantly Service. The opportunities
are endless and there is no limit
to our success. The strategic
plan has been set and every
event and service project will
lead us to a place far beyond
ourselves.
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.
has a rich history. The tenacious
seven, withstood obstacles and
set the foundation for an organi-
zation of women who promote,
“Greater Service, Greater Progress.”
It is indeed a pleasure to serve as
Basileus and work with women
who are ready to accept the
challenge and take us to a place
we have never been before. The
journey has been beautiful and a
great opportunity to witness the
shift here in Savannah, Georgia.
Nelson Mandela states, “It always
seems impossible until it’s done.”
Always remember, nothing is
beyond our reach when we have
a can do attitude.
I thank you for your commit-
ment, continued service and
In 2014, our chapter has gained
as well as lost. As sisters we
disagree, we miss the mark but
most importantly we love and we
love unconditionally —we are
human. We would like to high-
light sisters who have come back
home and Soror Terry who en-
tered into Omega Rho.
Soror Priscilla Williams
Soror Williams wears many hats
and is proud to be back home
with Alpha Iota Sigma from the
Virgin Islands. She proudly serves
as the Southeastern Region Lead-
ership Academy Liaison & Educa-
tion Chair, works at Savannah
State University, serves as our
Parliamentarian and is a Past
Basileus of Alpha Iota Sigma.
Soror Angela Brewer
Soror Brewer has been on the
move since reactivating through
Campaign 1922 with Alpha Iota
Sigma. She is willing to help
where needed and has success-
fully completed a project, Soles
for Little Souls as committee
chair. She will also serve as dele-
gate at the 75th Southeastern
Region Conference. Soror
Brewer is a March 12, 1995 in-
ductee into Nu Omicron Chap-
ter at Georgia Southern Univer-
sity. Soror Brewer dares to be
different by not eating so many
sweets and enjoy hobbies such as
shopping, catching a movie, exer-
cising and trying new crafts.
Welcome Back Sorors!
