BOULE 2012 THEME
"United4Service: Eliminating Barriers to Worldwide Positive Change" 

July 12-17, 2012

  

Sorors, Philos, Rhoers & Guests:

 

From Madi Gras parades and parties to succulent Creole cuisine to historic streetcars to the sights and sounds of Bourbon Street to sophisticated architecture to enchanting culture and traditions, there's absolutely no place in the world that compares to New Orleans, the hosting city of our sisterhood's  54th Biennial Boule.

 

The newly renovated Hyatt Regency Hotel will be the royal blue and gold hub for six days of strategic leadership training, camaraderie, networking, service to the local community, as well as collaborations, decisions and the election of leaders who will determine the course of action and direction for Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. that will mark our ninth decade of modeling, building and instilling "Greater Service, Greater Progress" around the world.

 

Registration was opened and formally announced in mid-December to all chapters and members for which we have email addresses.  If you did not receive notification it is imperative that you submit your chapter's and individual soror's email address to our International Corporate Headquarters office.

 

Offering onsite HIV/AIDS education and testing,  wellness screenings and giveaways, we're going to swing wide our gold doors and lay out the royal blue carpet to the surrounding communities to actively exhibit our 2012 conference theme United 4 Service:  Eliminating Barriers to Global Positive Change.

 

The 2012 Boule Planning Committee has left no stone unturned in ensuring that there's something exciting and memorable for every age and taste :

 

• A Mardi Gras Style Grand Sigma Parade down the streets of New Orleans
• Divas Simply Singing, a benefit concert for HIV/AIDS education and awareness featuring acclaimed veteran of film, television and the Broadway, Sheryl Lee Ralph, along with Sigma Gamma Rho Divas four time Grammy award nominee, writer and and songstress Kelly Price; soulful, legendary, contemporary gospel singer Vanessa Bell Armstrong; renowned percussionist and vocalist Gaynell Colburn; and veteran soul and smooth jazz vocalist  Maysa Leak.
• A Wellness & Employment Fair

From VIPs to special activities, the list above is just a small taste of what's in store, but you need to register early to ensure that you have the opportunity to enjoy everything our 54th Biennial Boule has to offer.  Registrations after April 30 will not be guaranteed all amenities and souvenirs.
