Our Purpose

Lupus has a detrimental effect on the individuals it attacks; unfortunately, it also has an effect on the loved ones of these same people. The impact of lupus extends beyond the physical and emotional toll it takes on the individuals diagnosed with the disease. Loved ones often experience feelings of helplessness and worry as they witness their family member or friend struggle with lupus’s unpredictable symptoms. 

Additionally, the burden of caring for and supporting their loved ones through medical appointments and treatments can also take a toll on their own well-being. Because of this, Gamme Pi Rho Lupus Sorority Inc. has decided to create auxiliary memberships that specifically address the needs of the younger population of newly diagnosed young ladies, the older population of women affected by Lupus, and family members of those living with Lupus.  Our hope is that we can provide education, support, and resources for these individuals as well as a community that comes together seeking and sharing so no one feels alone or left behind.
