I am so excited to commit Team Turner to this next term in office, building upon our glorious legacy of programmatic success and impact; continuing to expand our networks and partnerships with like-minded grassroots civic and social justice organizations; promoting quality service to our membership and support teams; effective mentoring and development of our youth; and promoting the foundational threads of this Fraternity: Brotherhood. Scholarship. Service.
As we endeavor to Achieve the Vision of our Founders, we are in the correct space for such a time as this. Phi Beta Sigma has a rich history and purpose to remove badges of second-class citizenry through our advocacy, our platforms and programming, and through our cultivation of current and tomorrow’s leadership. Through our programs of Bigger and Better Business, Education, and Social Action, we respond to societal needs to effect positive change and fairness as living testimony to our Founders’ intent to provide Culture for Service and Service for Humanity.
We’ve much to accomplish and time is always one of many challenges along this journey. However, we WILLINGLY embark on this journey. We are PREPARED for this journey, utilizing both the skillsets of our leadership and the tenacity of our membership to effect positive changes in the promotion of fairness and social justice.
We recognize the value of our partnerships in meeting the goals and objectives of our Fraternity. Working as a part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, we contribute to a formidable consortium of influential and powerful people of color to effect change. Alongside organizations such as AARP, The American Cancer Society, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., U.S. Fish & Wildlife, Black Health Matters, Good Health Wins, and the U.S. Army (to name a few), we are impacting all industries and arenas where human rights and social justice matter. We are especially grateful and fond of our Family Bond – the constitutional connection to our Sister organization – Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. We work closely with our FINER SISTERS and to support their programs and initiatives and we ‘tag team’ issues wherever and whenever appropriate.
If you’re new to our website, or here to refresh, check out our pages. You’ll find that we are entrenched in Brotherhood and Service. Our programs are solid and impactful; our commitment to our youth through the Sigma Beta Club is second to none.
