Rho Sigma Detroit Alumnae Chapter was chartered in 1936 by five members: Soror Evelyn Dennis, Soror Millie Henson, Soror Yolanda Maddox, Soror Christine Smith, and Dr. Rosa Slade Gragg. This formed the legacy that now expands to hundreds of graduate sorors in Metro-Detroit. Rho Sigma supports several undergraduate chapters, the Philo Affiliates, a Rhoer Club, and a Rhosebud Club. Rho Sigma continues to be a force and a trendsetter within its community by participating in regular service and civic engagement activities.
