The winner of OmicronRho’s Mr. Rhoyalty Pageant and Mu Alpha’s Mr. UCLA pageant each took home a $500scholarship. The bio of each winner was read at the scholarship luncheon.On the graduate level, sorors from Theta Epsilon Sigma of Culver City organized foursuccessful fundraisers including a comedy night and a spa trip to Mexico which led to thechapter presenting four scholarships for a total of $5000. Gamma Tau Sigma chapter of LongBeach held, in addition to other events, a Jazz Brunch fundraiser that allowed them to giveout $2000 to three of their Rhoers who are headed off to college. Sorors from the Los Angelesgraduate chapter Sigma Sigma were also successful in their fundraising efforts which led to a$1000 scholarship for a spectacular young lady. In fact all of the young ladies that receivedscholarships that day were exceptional on an academic and personal level. It was a proudday for Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., the students and their families. The sorors of theSouthern California Joint Council are gearing up for another successful year of communityservice and fundraising with the goal of giving out more money next year.20
