Since its inception, Sigma Gamma Rho has promoted unity among women and worked with individuals not members of Greek-lettered organizations. These women were organized into auxiliaries with various names until 1954 when the sorority officially approved the organized affiliate group and accepted the name “Philo”(meaning friend) as the official name.

In 1980, the Philos was organized nationally and has since grown to represent hundreds of women organized on a regional level. The Philos have contributed countless hours of community service and thousands of dollars aiding Sigma Gamma Rho’s aim to enhance the quality of life within every community.
