What is identified as the voting body of the sorority?

The Grand Chapter is recognized as the voting body of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. This body consists of delegates from local chapters and serves as the highest decision-making authority within the organization. The Grand Chapter meets periodically to discuss important matters pertaining to the sorority and to vote on policies, programs, and leadership positions. This structure allows for a democratic process where various voices from across the sorority are represented and can influence the direction of SGRHO.

In contrast, the National Council typically handles the day-to-day operations and implementation of policies but does not represent the voting body itself. The Regional Conference is designed for discussion and education within regions but does not have the overarching voting authority of the Grand Chapter. Local Chapters, while essential to the sorority's foundation and activities, do not possess the wider representation needed to function as the voting assembly of the entire organization. This hierarchical structure ensures that major decisions reflect the collective will of the sorority's members through their representative body.
