President’s Message
As the 2007-2008 President of the Epsilon Iota Chapter (Indiana University) of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., I would like to welcome you to our website. This website is designed to educate people on the brothers at Epsilon Iota chapter and their activities on Indiana University’s campus and the Bloomington community. The goal of this chapter is to further the cause of our national fraternity, which principles are BROTHERHOOD, SCHOLARSHIP, and SERVICE.
The brothers of Epsilon Iota take great pride in our commitment to support and strengthen our national partnerships with the American Cancer Society and the March of Dimes Foundation. The organizations commitment to Project SWWAC (Sigma’s Waging War Against Cancer) and the SATAPP (Sigma Against Teenage Pregnancy Plus) Programs make these goals a reality. In addition, Phi Beta Sigma’s newest partners, the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund and the National Marrow Donors Program are examples of Sigma’s continued renewed efforts geared towards benefiting the community at large.
We challenge ourselves as we continue to embrace the Fraternity’s motto, “Culture for Service and Service for Humanity.” The brothers of Epsilon Iota hope that this website will provide a outlook to who we are and what we’re about.
For information, questions, or concerns please feel free to contact the chapter at pbsei@indiana.edu
“Sigma’s Cause Speeds on Its Way.”
“Our cause speeds on its way”
Sincerely,
Andre D. White, President
