At the time, Indiana was often referred to as the \u201cmost northern Southern state\u201d because its public policies were more like the states of the Deep South than that of its Great Lakes neighbors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the midst of this climate, on the east side of Indianapolis sat Butler University, named for a local attorney, newspaper publisher, and abolitionist, Ovid Butler. Butler was the driving force behind the school\u2019s values of diversity, inclusivity, and equality, making it one of the first universities to admit women and people of color on an equal basis with white males. This was the setting where seven young Black women, who were studying education at Butler University&#8217;s Irvington Campus chose to found the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"link-list layout-links\" >\n    <div class=\"link-list__container link-list__grid-default\">\n                        <div class=\"list-list__linkWrapper link-list__grid-default\">\n                                <ul class=\"wysiwyg__ctaLinks\">\n                                                        <li>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/app.thebookpatch.com\/BookStore\/walking-in-the-founders-footsteps-sigma-gamma-rho-in-indianapolis-1922\/204fdc92-46f7-47df-ba1d-8c181d166165?isbn=9798986329109\" class=\"button-link-right button-link-right--color-blue-bright\" target=_blank\">Purchase the book<\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n                                            <\/ul>\n                                \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":0,"parent":1616,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1706","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"revision_note":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.2 (Yoast SEO v26.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Landmarks and History - Diversity, Equity &amp;
