![]() Stepping and strolling to me is where the cultural aspects of our organizations meet the brotherhood and sisterhood aspects of them as well.īeing a brother to me means wearing the many hats that come with being a mentor, friend, critic and listener - and the many other words that describe lifelong relationships. I have had the opportunity to perform for events like the yard show, stroll-off and dance marathon. One of the best aspects of being a part of a National Pan-Hellenic Council organization is the blending of cultures and showmanship that is born from that adaptation. Originally derived from South African gumboot dancing, stepping has grown into a staple of our organizations’ ways of expressing our African origins. While Sigmas are known for their stepping and strolling, stepping is ingrained in the roots of all the National Pan-Hellenic Council organizations. I have also had the opportunity to attend our international conclave and witness my chapter winning the fraternity-wide step show for two years in a row. ![]() ![]() By being around other like-minded men, I have learned humility. By outsourcing venues for events, I have learned how to deal with contracts. By hosting events, I have developed my public speaking. Holding office within my organization has allowed me a stage to develop my interpersonal, technical and leadership skills in many ways. I have had the pleasure of serving my chapter as the 2019-2020 treasurer and as the chapter president for the 2020-2021 school year. Joining as a freshman was no easy task, but I got to learn a lot about myself and what it meant to be a man of Sigma. These men believed in everything that the founders stood for, and were passionate about their organization, and I could see the genuineness of their bond. But as a freshman, I saw the events that the Sigmas hosted like PB&J for the Homeless, Thanksgiving Turkey Drive and Gospel Night and a partnership with March of Dimes, and found that a “fraternity” could be much more than just partying. All I’ve known is community service, growing up with a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. I saw how the chapter was viewed by the campus community, and how much they gave back to not only SDSU but to the greater San Diego area. Through their mentorship, I had the chance to witness the true meaning of brotherhood, scholarship and service. They saw me as one of their little brothers. It did not matter to them that I was not a member of their organization. As the semester carried on, different members of the chapter would reach out to me to make sure that I had everything that I required and that I was comfortable. This took me aback because I wouldn’t have expected an older student to care about what I had going on in my freshman world. When I stepped on campus my first semester, a senior was the first person to ask if I needed help moving into my dorm. They each had a hand in helping prepare our step routine for the annual MLK parade step show. I was surprised to find out that many San Diego Sigmas were previous Achievers like Kevin Archangel, Christian Onwuka and Julian Buchanan. ![]() ![]() This was my first introduction to a few of the members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.
