Last October we embarked upon Gamma Gamma Sigma’s first Sigma Week and because of the brotherhood that we share, every activity was a success. Thank you Brother Waiters, Brother Thomas, Brother Bell and Brother Smith. Thank you one and all for making time to partake in this momentous occasion.
As we celebrate the chapter’s 60th birthday, thank you to Brothers Nelson, Fray, G. Williams, J. Williams, Mills, M. Johnson and Burrows, and all of the brothers in attendance we bonded as one unit. Successfully bridging a gap from the 1950′s to the present focusing on our fraternity’s principle, SERVICE.

Greetings and Happy New Year,
Our Founders’ Day Service will be held January 9, 2011 at Mount Calvary Baptist Church which is pastored by Brother Anthony Burrell. The church is located at 800 NW 8 Ave, Pompano. Service begins at 11:00 am. As usual we are asking that brothers be present no later than 10:30 am, dressed in our Royal Blue Sigma Blazers.
We would like to collect all individual and chapter donations before we enter the sanctuary. If your donation will be in the form of a check, please address to Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. We would like to present one check on behalf of us all. Following the service we will proceed to Golden Corral for lunch.
I look forward to seeing you as we celebrate our fraternities anniversary and worship with the congregation of Mount Calvary Baptist, the oldest African-American church in Broward County.
Bro. Anthony Burrell, Pastor

Brothers, Patricia Lesesne who is the Faculty Coordinator for the Mentoring Tomorrow’s Leaders (MTL) program at Boyd Anderson High School has written us a thank you note for donating the books .
Please read the letter and see how Gamma Gamma Sigma is making an impact in the community.
The Gamma Gamma Sigma Chapter continues to strive toward helping young people achieve academic success. One new major imitative of the chapter is the Sigma Book Sharing Project. This program works with a group of young African American males at Boyd Anderson High School in Fort Lauderdale.
Gamma Gamma Sigma purchases books for the mentoring group that focus on social, personal, and economical development. The first book for the group is tilted “The Black Male Handbook”. The book tackles issues related to political, practical, cultural, and spiritual matters, as well as ending violence against women.
