Hey do you know Soror Annie B. Knight Jordan?
The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion was the only all-Black US Women’s Army Corps unit that served in the European Theater of Operations during World War II. They were tasked with processing undelivered mail for U.S. troops. Their motto? “No mail, low morale.”
Born on July 8, 1918, in Georgia, Soror Jordan enlisted in 1943 and proudly served in Europe before joining Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. in 1947 at Howard University (Alpha Phi Chapter). Her life of service extended far beyond the military—she was a civil rights activist, a leader in her community, and an unwavering supporter of education, youth, and faith.
Some of her achievements include:
- Lifetime member of the NAACP & past officer
- Co-founder of the Savannah Chapter of Tots and Teens
- Chairperson of the Southeastern Region of the National Association of Black Military Women
- President of the Auxiliary to the National Medical Association
- Recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal (posthumously, 2022)
Her Sigma legacy lives on through generations of trailblazers:
💙 Carla Jordan-Detamore, JD (Spring 2006, Omicron Nu – Duke University)
💛 Courtnee Jordan-Cox, PhD (Spring 2006, Theta Zeta – Marquette University, currently a proud member of the Konfident Kappa Omicron Sigma Alumnae Chapter )
💙 Carmen Jordan-Cox, PhD (Fall 2019, Alpha Nu Sigma – Delaware)
💛 Karen Jordan, MD, PhD (Spring 2021, Epsilon Zeta Sigma – New Jersey)
Let’s celebrate Soror Jordan’s impact and the legacy she inspired.
