WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the Alpha Kappa Sigma Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho | ||
Sorority, Incorporated, on the occasion of the chapter's 75th | ||
anniversary; and | ||
WHEREAS, Chartered on February 2, 1946, in Round Rock, the | ||
Alpha Kappa Sigma Chapter was organized by Soror Johnnie Yates | ||
Rice and was initially composed of nine founding members and one | ||
honorary member; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the last 75 years, chapter members have | ||
continued to uphold the Sigma Gamma Rho motto of "Greater | ||
service, greater progress" and have served as respected leaders | ||
in the community; and | ||
WHEREAS, Alpha Kappa Sigma Chapter sponsors two | ||
undergraduate chapters, the Alpha Omega Chapter and the Mu | ||
Upsilon Chapter, and two affiliate groups, the Philos and the | ||
Rhoers; the Philos serve to strengthen the sorority's network of | ||
friendship and support, and the Rhoers, a group of young women | ||
from age 12 to 18, exhibit high standards in character and serve | ||
as models for their peers; and | ||
WHEREAS, The members of Alpha Kappa Sigma Chapter partner | ||
with local organizations and implement programs to provide | ||
opportunities for personal development and improve the quality | ||
of life for members of their community; they serve as active | ||

are guiding the next generation of leaders; all associated with | ||
the chapter can reflect with pride on the organization's | ||
impressive history of civic service; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
