Centennial Reflections!<br />
2014 is a year of personal reflection for every member,<br />
potential member and affiliate of Phi Beta Sigma<br />
Fraternity, Inc. Our organization has accomplished a<br />
task not seen by many. We have enjoyed 100 years of<br />
prosperity and commitment from those who chose to<br />
be members of the greatest Fraternity known to man.<br />
The Sigma year of 2014 will provide time for personal<br />
reflections. In this context, the term reflection could<br />
mean what one remembers about past occurrences; it<br />
could be a thought, a memory or a significant personal<br />
moment. In a different context, the term reflection<br />
could also be defined as what is being seen on<br />
you, from you and through you.<br />
As good Sigma Men, we define our own reflections and personal descriptions.<br />
Truly, as we reflect on our entire Sigma life, we discover that we want our experience<br />
to mean so much to everyone else. We want the entire world to see that<br />
we emulate our motto, “Culture for Service and Service for Humanity”. This is<br />
reflected by the outcomes obtained through the Fraternity’s most important<br />
aspect, our international programs. We also want the world to see that all Men<br />
of Sigma espouse character traits that allow us to be known as the “best that<br />
one has to offer others”. It is a perfect reflection of the Fraternity’s value system.<br />
Finally, because we are the sum of all things that we chose to be, our reflection<br />
is that we are our Brothers’ keeper. A perfect keeper of the flame!<br />
This edition of our Crescent magazine offers a reflection of the Fraternity’s<br />
ongoing Centennial year. We see Brothers believing in the Fraternity’s system,<br />
we see Brothers achieving in the name of Sigma and we see Men of Sigma<br />
receiving what has been promised to them after the 100 years of Brotherhood,<br />
Scholarship and Service evidenced by the Fraternity. Yes, it is a Centennial year<br />
for Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and that makes it a new day for Sigma. Every day<br />
in this year is our day!<br />
Reflection: all things associated with being a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity,<br />
Inc. It is our year! It is our time to shine! And once we truly shine, then<br />
the world reflects off of our beautiful image.<br />
Congratulations, Sigma!!!<br />
