Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Deb Ball, 1964 Group photograph of members of the Eta Sigma Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority during the 1964 Debutante Ball. The women are arranged on a decorated stage beneath a banner reading “Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Debs 1964,” dressed in formal evening gowns and gloves. Soror Evelyn Hood stands in the front row (left) beside a debutante ball planning committee members. The image reflects the ceremonial elegance and mentorship traditions through which African American women’s organizations supported the presentation and development of young women.
