Founded on January 13, 1913 by twenty-two collegiate women at Howard University, the Sorority is currently a sisterhood of more than 300,000 predominately Black college educated women. This includes over 1,000 collegiate and alumnae chapters located in the United States, Canada, Japan (Tokyo and Okinawa), Germany, the Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica, West Africa, Southern African, United Arab Emirates and the Republic of Korea.

The major programs of the sorority are based upon the organization’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust:

The Rock Hill Alumnae Chapter was chartered on March 1, 1958 as the Epsilon Rho Sigma Chapter by 16 dynamic, educated and forward thinking women who recognized a need for service to the communities in the Rock Hill and surrounding York County.  Today, our membership is over 100 sorors who are committed to and dedicated to continuing the legacy of sisterhood, scholarship, service and social action.
