What Is the Sigma Gamma Rho Boule?

Members gathered at a Sigma Gamma Rho Boule convention — The Boule brings Sigma Gamma Rho members together every two years.

The Boule is Sigma Gamma Rho’s international convention, held once every two years, which is why each gathering is numbered as a biennial Boule. It combines official business sessions with leadership development, community service, and sisterhood events, and it is the largest event on the sorority’s calendar. The sorority describes its mission as enhancing the quality of life for women and their families in the United States and globally through community service and civil and social action, with a focus on education, health awareness, and leadership development. Members travel from chapters across the country and abroad, so a host city sees thousands of visitors in royal blue and gold for the week.

Registration and Official Information

Registration, housing, and the full schedule for the 61st Biennial Boule are handled through Sigma Gamma Rho’s official channels and the sorority’s official app. Because fees, deadlines, and hotel blocks change, members should confirm current details directly with the sorority at the official Sigma Gamma Rho website rather than relying on third-party listings. The sorority also sends Know Before You Go information to registered attendees ahead of the convention.

Gearing Up for Boule

For many members, preparing for Boule means planning what to wear. A week of sessions, service, and sisterhood calls for chapter shirts, custom pieces, and royal blue and gold looks that show pride on the convention floor and around the city. If you are an SGRho member or represent another Divine Nine sorority, custom apparel is part of how members show up for events like this, and you can see how the sorority fits among the Divine Nine organizations. Vendors who sell merchandise with the sorority’s name, letters, or marks must be officially licensed, so look for licensed products when you shop the Boule.
