    The History
    Sigma Gamma Rho has a long and sustainable history in the business of teen pregnancy prevention. In 1972, a pilot program with two chapters (Zeta Sigma and Alpha Delta chapters) initiated Project Reassurance with family life and leadership development workshops for coeds at the School of Continuing Education, St. Louis, Missouri.  This pilot project effort s became a National Project in 1974 with Rejesta V. Perry, PhD, as the national director of Project Reassurance.  Project Reassurance was first established in 1974 in conjunction with the National March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation.  In August 2001, the Board of Directors of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. voted Project Reassurance as the Sorority's National premiere program.

    Since 1974 Sigma Gamma Rho chapters all over the nation have positively impacted the lives of many youth under its mission: to provide teenagers with the tools and information to make better life choices for themselves and their children by serving as role models, mentoring, hosting educational workshops, and identifying resources and referrals.
