Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated was founded on November 12, 1922 by seven young educators at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. By creating a sorority during a time of racial, social, and economic unrest, these seven women laid the foundation for Sigma upon which they established love, sisterly understanding, and being in service to the community. In the Spring of 1990, there was a need to finally complete the list of historically black sororities at the University of Central Florida. Therefore, with the help of the Delta Mu Sigma Alumnae Chapter, Lambda Mu's Herstory was created. The void was filled by nine vibrant young women. These women represent four different countries: Antigua, Italy, Philippines and the United States. Their main focus of studies concentrated in the following disciplines: the study of life, educational development, business and the intricacy of engineering. They are the Sorors of "NINE LIVES".
