Alpha Lambda Sigma, the Cleveland Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. is presenting to the Greater Cleveland Community, a national youth development initiative: Rhomania. This rites of passage program emphasizes academic achievement, civic awareness, and social growth. Rhomania is a nine month program directed toward African-American females in the 12th grade that will incorporate the core ideas of the Rhoer Club, the sorority’s youth affiliate. The culminating event for this program is The Rhomania Debutante Ball, which will be held in April 13, 2008 at Landerhaven (6111 Landerhaven Drive, Cleveland, OH 44124). The theme of the Rhomania Program for 2007/2008 is from the Akan people; "Nsoromma: Children of the Heavens and Stars”. Sigma Gamma Rho, Alpha Lambda Sigma Chapter, was the first sorority to ever host a Debutante Ball in the city of Cleveland. The women are excited about this monumental event and introducing the Debutantes to society.
