Last, but never forgotten (in my series of girlfriends), are four beautiful individuals that I had the priviledge of pledging a sorority with in college. In fact, we will celebrate our anniversary next month (27 years), and we are still friends, sorors, and sisters for life. I met Leslie, Lavonne, and Shanne at Illinois State University in 1984. Four effervescent young women, striving to be a part of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., founded in 1922. We pledged for 13 weeks, and formed an unbreakable union. The 30+ women who initiated us into the organization (especially my family sisters), I respect, admire, and hold dear and near in my heart. Unfortunately, I cannot say too much about our pledge period (as I would have to kill you if the information were to be released)...lol
Let's just say, being apart of SGR made me the woman I am today. I have met (and MADE), a lot of talented, intelligent, beautiful Sigma's. I think the fondest memory that I have, is when we would perform in 'step shows.' Needless to say, 'our performances were always memorable, creative, never boring, and we took no prisoner's'...(lol). I am honored to say eeeeeeeeeeyip! I ask the question: "are the younger sorors today, keeping the tradition of 'taking no prisoner's?" The answer is YES! Check out this amazing footage of my 'bluetiful' sorors performing at a step show (and they won!)...
