Persia White is not a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.
The talented actress Angela Bassett is now an honorary member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority. She, along with five others, was inducted in 2013.
She is an honorary member; however our honorary members are official members who have taken our sorority's oath. The only difference is that honorary members are extended an invitation to join the sorority and have done extraordinary things in their communities and/or professional fields; therefore making them exempt from some of the sorority's requirements for membership. In other words, some honorary members have not gone to college, which is a requirement for others seeking membership.
If there was ever a musician that was an honorary member of San Francisco's society... Mr. Peter Frampton!
I am not sure, but it is rumored on at least on blog that she was rejected by Delta Sigma Theta when she was in college. However, when she became the media mogul that we all know, an invitation to join was extended to her, but Oprah politely declined.
