Philo Affiliates
Since its inception, Sigma Gamma Rho has promoted unity among women and for years many alumnae chapters worked with individuals who were not members of Greek-lettered organizations. These women were organized into auxiliaries that had various names until 1954 when the sorority officially approved the organized affiliate group and accepted the name of "Philo" (meaning Friend) as their official name.
In 1980, the Philos were organized on a national level and have grown to represent hundreds of women organized on a regional level as well. The Philos have contributed countless hours of community service and thousands of dollars to aid Sigma Gamma Rho's aim to enhance the quality of life within every community. You can learn more about the Philo Affiliate via sgrho1922.org.

In January 2020, the Kappa Psi Sigma chapter of Philo Affiliates was chartered in Valdosta, GA with members covering Lowndes, Thomas, Ben-Hill, & Tift Counties. In 2021 we were able to increase our sisterhood to include a Turner County member as well. The Sigma family as a whole is spread throughout five regions (Central, Southeastern, Southwestern, Northeastern, & Northwestern). Kappa Psi Sigma Philo Affiliate makes its home in the Sophisticated Southeastern Region.
