Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. is an international community service organization with chapters across the United States and abroad.  The organization’s mission is a commitment to enhance the quality of life within the community.  Sorority initiatives focus on public service, leadership development and the education of youth.  In response to current protests and unrest, the sorority has developed a Golden Alert, which is a social action plan that includes national forums and youth symposiums.  We have entitled this plan a Golden Alert because our communities are like precious stones of gold.

Our second national forum will be held in St. Louis, Missouri on February 21 at the University of Missouri - St. Louis in the J. C. Penney Conference Center, 1 University Drive, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.  Registration and a community reception will begin at 8:00 a.m. and free lunch will be provided.  Registrants are asked to select from several topics to participate in during the interactive break-out sessions.  The day will include sharing information, education and strategies to develop community-based solutions that address the needs of our community.  A voter registration drive will also take place as a means to ensure our community is empowered.  The agenda will include:
