A Sigma is…

my grad chapter president fowarded us this quote posted on the Mu Xi chapter website. it’s a great reminder of the committment we all made to Sigma.

A Sigma is: one who not only joins the organization, but leaves an impact on his fellow brothers, the campus community, and beyond. He strives to take Sigma higher through his “Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service,” not only to his brothers, but to humanity. He not only recites and memorizes the ideals, but he lives by them!

Chicagoland Blue & White Council Founder’s Day

The purpose for which this committee is formed is to develop lasting relationships with collegiate and alumni members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. who reside in the Chicago land area, through annual events formulated to enhance the social and service aspects of both aforementioned organizations.

For the past four years the council has sponsored an Annual Blue and White Weekend in the Chicago area with great success. This year the council has decided to honor our founders with a week of events. The events will be as follows and they are for Graduate, Undergraduate, Greeks and Non-Greeks:

Alpha Alpha Epsilon Sigma annual Toy Drive

my grad chapter, alpha alpha epsilon sigma, is conducting its annual christmas toy drive. the details are below.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are once again in the process of organizing our annual Christmas Toy Drive in order to help those who are less fortunate. This annual effort of giving back to the community can only be successful by the generousity of our supporters. Please consider making a cash donation or purchasing the gifts requested for this very worthy cause. We will be targeting “three” Inland Empire families this year, and it is our hope to give them the very best Christmas that we can.

We have posted their respective gift request in this word document, and have provided a “Make a Donation” button where you can make cash donations towards the purchase of the gifts. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Brother Manzell T. Baskerville
