Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.

The Gamma Omicron Sigma Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was charted on Sept. 29, 1962 in Jacksonville, Florida. The chapter was charted under the leadership of Southeast Region Syntaktes Evelyn Hood of Atlanta, Georgia.

Since its charter, members of Gamma Omicron Sigma have remained committed to serving the Jacksonville community through the Sorority’s five national programs of service: Operation BigBookBag, Women’s Wellness Initiative, Project Cradle Care, Swim 1922, and our Youth Symposium. The chapter is also proud to award annual scholarships to deserving high school seniors and college students in the area.
