Did you install RVM with sudo? then you need to read RVM documentation 
about that:

https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/

If you missed the red part that says:

"Multi-User installations - For server administrators - For an 
installation usable by all users on the system - Please note that 
Single-User supercedes Multi-User. This also used to be called the 
System-Wide Install. Using this type of installation without knowledge 
how umask works is a big security risk."

Without knowing how you installed it this is the only thing I can think 
of.
