What we offer our members
why join?
leadership development
Being part of an entity gives you the opportunity to voice your opinion when it comes to the operations and delegation of the fraternity. As a member, you have the ability to be an influential leader on your college campus by representing the organization and showing your fellow peers what a Sigma Lambda Beta man is all about! Many of our members have taken on leadership roles on and off campus which have later helped them to develop in both their collegiate and professional careers. Our mission places emphasis on getting involved, having a positive impact on campus, and the upward mobility both as a student and as a man. While being part of an entity of Sigma Lambda Beta is important, we also encourage our brothers to join other organizations to help strengthen that sense of leadership and dedication so that they are able to provide the same type of skills to future potential members of our fraternity.
the pride of a student organization on campus
Another benefit of being part of an entity within Sigma Lambda Beta is the resources and support you receive as a student organization on campus. Many of our chapters work very closely with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority life, Student Activities, and Student/Campus Involvement. These outlets partner with our fraternity to maintain a quality student organization that will enhance student life and promote diversity in many different ways!
providing innovative programs/events for the student body
As a Brother of Sigma Lambda Beta, it is important that we are continuously promoting our mission and principles. One way that we do this is through our programming and development. As the student culture changes and adapts, we want to ensure as members of a Greek organization that we offering programs, events, and activities that are geared to the growth and awareness of the student body and the surrounding community. Many of our entities have developed programs around the health and safety of college students, academic success and retention, events celebrating culture, community service programming, forums and rallies discussing issues and current events, as well as activities and socials that help to promote Sigma Lambda Beta in a positive light.
"Being your brothers keeper"
While being a Brother of Sigma Lambda Beta does hold a significant responsibility both as a student and a member, it is also a way to challenge the minds and the thought process of other brothers within our organization(s). Having the accountability of others, as well as being an impact to the entity is an important process in the growth and development of a fraternity.
networking & lasting connections between brothers
One of the major benefits of being part of an entity of Sigma Lambda Beta is the networking opportunities you encounter both on campus and off campus. When you are representing an organization, you have the chance to meet a variety of people from all different parts of the world. Being a Fraternity man places you in a unique position which opens up many opportunities that might not been available before. In addition to meeting new people, being a member of an entity connects you to numerous chapters and alumni members both in your surrounding areas and regions. What’s remarkable about being a part of Sigma Lambda Beta is the instant connection you make with a brother, even though you are meeting them for the first time. It is the bond of Brotherhood, mentorship and support that helps strengthen the networking opportunities as a Sigma Lambda Beta man!
