A blog is a usually kept by an individual who gives commentary on different subjects or thoughts that are important to them. They function as a sort of on-line diary.You can do many different things with blogs, you can add video, music, photos and of course commentary.There are several different types of blog sites that you can go to set-up a blog. Two of the most used sites are Blogger and Wordpress. Most of the blogging sites are free and as you add features you can start obtaining charges. When blogging you can make your blog private, which means just people that you invite will be able to read it, or public, which means anyone on the worldwide web would be able to read your blog.

National News: Letter from Grand Basileus JoAnn Loveless
Interational Grand Basileus JoAnn Loveless issued this statement about Hurricane Ike.
Sorors, Philos, Rhoers & Visitors:
While we have not been able to contact all members and affiliates we project to be affected by Hurricane Ike and the resulting aftermath, I am thankful and relieved to report to you that all indications at this juncture are that everyone is safe. That being said, the magnitude of the devastation and destruction of the hardest hit areas is still being assessed and residents have still not been allowed to return to their homes and may not be allowed to do so for weeks to come.
in some of the less severely hit areas like Houston, Texas, we have sisters and affiliates who are among the more than three million residents without electrical power and for some sewer and water services as well for most of last week. As of the last report heard by this officer, there are still a million residents enduring this hardship – among them our Southwest Region Syntaktes Brenda Sloan Johnson and other members and affiliates throughout a six-state area.

It is therefore quite evident that the needs when finally determined may be great and we must begin now to prepare.This officer is encouraging all regions, chapters, officers, members, philos, rhoers, friends and guests to again join us in coming to the aid of those both within and connected to our circle of sisters by contributing to the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. Disaster Relief Fund.
Any and all amounts are encouraged and will be accepted. Make donations payable to the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Disaster Relief Fund. Mail contributions to Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Disaster Relief Fund, 1000 Southhill Drive, Cary, NC 27513.
The theme for our biennium is Purposed for Service: Reaching Inward, Upward & Outward. Your generous support of this request will align with all facets of this theme by assisting our own (reaching inward); exhibiting divine selfless love and sisterhood (reaching upward) and uplifting entire families as they work to rebuild local communities (reaching outward).
As we receive additional information regarding our sisters, philos and rhoers affected and their specific needs, we will share it with you. I thank you in advance for your timely and heart-felt outpouring of love and support.
Sisterly,
Joann Loveless International Grand Basileus
