They worked long days and nights to form an organization that catered to mothers aspiring to improve themselves and the lives of their children. They wanted to design a sisterhood that promoted self-improvement, community service, and higher education. They also wanted to create a sisterhood for women to express and share their joys and pains of motherhood, as well as their cares and concerns for children and women's health and rights issues. Sigma Beta Xi Sorority was created with all of these things in mind; and HerStory began.
