krystal@nasguard.comMembers of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity’s New Providence alumni chapter visited Grand Bahama this weekend where they performed community service at the Children’s Home and met with local members of the fraternity who are working to establish a chapter.
The Pi Beta Sigma is an international fraternity based in Washington D.C.
On Saturday morning, the seven men from the capital joined their Grand Bahama brothers at the Home to make a donation of school supplies and uniforms.
Also present were members of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority.
President of the Delta Epsilon Sigma Chapter Gerrard Sawyer explained that the organization has had a relationship with the Children’s Home in the past and were looking to rekindle it.
“A few years ago, we started coming down about twice a year and we fell off for a while.
“We decided this year we were really going to get started again. What we do is we come down to play with the kids and bring some school supplies.
“This year we brought some school uniforms as well,” he said.
Sawyer pointed out that the Phi Beta Sigma organization is built on brotherhood, scholarship and service and its motto is “Culture for Service and Service for Humanity.”
