Royal Blue and Gold Heritage Since November 1922
Since seven young educators founded Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. at Butler University in Indianapolis on November 12, 1922, the pairing of Royal Blue and Gold has stood for sisterhood, scholarship, and community service across college campuses and alumnae chapters nationwide. The Ralph Lauren Sigma Gamma Rho Yellow Sweater puts that radiant golden-yellow shade front and center on a long-sleeve crewneck pullover accented with a royal-blue and crisp white striped collar.
Rather than relying on a simple block-letter chest print, the front artwork portrays a collegiate teddy bear mascot outfitted in full chapter-day attire, complete with custom Greek lettering and the sorority's beloved poodle insignia. It makes an unmistakable statement for newly crossed sorors, seasoned alumnae chapter officers, and campus probate celebrations alike.

Collegiate Bear Mascot, ΣΓΡ Letterman Jacket & Poodle Tote Details
Every element of the center illustration connects back to verified Sigma Gamma Rho traditions:
- Two-Tone ΣΓΡ Varsity Jacket: Over a white collared shirt and cream cable-knit V-neck vest trimmed in blue and gold, the bear wears a royal-blue snap-front letterman jacket with golden-yellow sleeves and gold ΣΓΡ Greek letters on the left chest.
- French Toy Poodle & 1922 Sleeve Crest: The right sleeve of the bear's jacket carries the royal-blue silhouette of the French Toy Poodle-adopted as the official sorority mascot-positioned directly above the 1922 founding year.
- Handheld Chapter Tote Bag: In its left paw, the mascot holds a structured white-and-royal-blue canvas tote bag printed with ΣΓΡ, 1922, and a second poodle silhouette, balanced by cuffed khaki chinos and brown bit loafers with white crew socks.
- Lower Chest Serif Inscription: Below the mascot, bold royal-blue serif lettering spells SIGMA GAMMA RHO - SORORITY, INC. - - 1922 - above cursive Ralph Lauren script, complemented by a royal-blue polo player icon on the upper left chest.

95% Polyester, 5% Spandex Pullover Drape & Garment Care
Tailored from a 95% polyester, 5% spandex fabric blend, this crewneck pullover uses all-over dye-sublimation printing to bond the golden-yellow ground, cable-knit shading, and royal-blue Greek letters directly into the yarn. Because there is no thick embroidery backing board pressed against your chest, the sweater drapes smoothly over a white button-down blouse, turtleneck, or tee without stiffness or interior chafing during full-day regional conferences and November Founders' Day brunches.
Ribbed cuffs and a matching golden-yellow ribbed waistband hold their shape across autumn tailgates, campus yard walks, and winter chapter socials, pairing cleanly with tailored cream trousers, pleated skirts, or dark denim. To keep the golden-yellow body bright and the royal-blue lettering sharp season after season, machine wash cold with similar colors, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and do not iron directly on the printed design.
