Project Cradle Care

Youth Symposium

The Gamma Phi Sigma Chapter proudly partners with the four Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. alumnae chapters serving Houston and the surrounding communities to host an annual Youth Symposium. This collaborative event is designed to educate, inspire, and empower middle and high school students through engaging workshops, leadership development, college and career readiness, financial literacy, health and wellness, and personal growth.

 

By bringing together the strengths and resources of our local sister chapters, we create meaningful opportunities for young people to build confidence, develop essential life skills, and connect with mentors who encourage them to achieve their highest potential. Through this partnership, we remain committed to investing in the next generation of leaders and making a lasting impact throughout our communities.

Through Project Cradle Care, the ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., Gamma Phi Sigma Chapter are committed to supporting infants and families during life's earliest moments.

 

Over the years, our chapter has donated essential baby supplies, including diapers, wipes, formula, clothing, and other newborn necessities to families in need. We have also partnered with local hospitals and community organizations to connect parents with programs that provide ongoing resources and support beyond their hospital stay.

 

One especially memorable moment was celebrating a Rhoyal Birth by presenting a welcome gift basket to a baby born on our Founders' Day, November 12. Through every donation and partnership, Project Cradle Care reflects our commitment to strengthening families, serving our community, and ensuring every child has a healthy start.
