Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority makes international splash in local designer dresses
Members of Sigma Gamma
Rho Sorority’s Kappa Delta
Sigma Chapter, along with members of the organization’s youth
affiliate group, the Rhoers club,
brought local Bahamian flare to
the sorority’s regional conference in Atlanta this past weekend.
The young ladies attended the
75th Southeastern Region Conference of Sigma Gamma Rho
Sorority, Inc., March 12-15,
2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. They
created quite a stir sporting
beautiful blue and gold dresses,
the sorority’s official colors, designed by up-and-coming Grand
Bahamian fashion house, Bahari.
According to Jaleesa Grant,
Rhoer advisor, “It was important for us to attend the conference and bring our Bahamian
culture and stamp. From the
moment we arrived in the Bahari dresses, we made quite an
impression. Everyone loved
our dresses and there were
quite a few expressions of interest. This may result with a
brand-new market opportunity
for Bahari. We were so pleased
to be able to represent our island.”
Peri Lockhart, President of the
Rhoers Club remarked, “We
were excited to attend the conference and meet our fellow sisters from the region. We were
able to stand out and represent
our country with pride and in
style.”
While at the conference the
young ladies were able to participate in several leadership workshops as well as participate in
college tours. Thia Farquharson,
Bishop Michael Eldon student,
was a nominee for Rhoer of the
year. The group also won the
coveted Rhoer Club Growth
award for the second year in a
row.
