\nHere comes another one of my ideal concerning raising money for the fraternity and extending an olive branch to our national officers.<\/p>\n

Please take a look at what the AKA are doing around the country for their centennial. They have a traveling AKA exhibit going to different cities throughout the county. This is the Detroit visit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What if an olive branch was extended to our national officers to allow the Sigma museum to become an officially sanctioned traveling museum exhibit for Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity’s centennial celebration!<\/p>\n

The goal is to raise money for the centennial celebration and the Sigma Beta Club Foundation. Here is how I propose for it to work.<\/p>\n

Going from 2009 to 2014, almost every week during this period, a chapter will be the host city for the museum exhibit for a weekend. Like in Detroit, all the alumni chapters in Detroit (Alpha Alpha Beta Sigma, Xi Beta Sigma, and Nu Alpha Sigma) would jointly host this exhibit as a fund raiser at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American history. The profits from this event would be split between the host chapter(s) 1\/3, national centennial celebration\/Sigma Beta Foundation 1\/3, Sigma Museum (to cover all costs to transport museum and pay for brothers’ expenses and as a fund raiser). An orchid ball, founder’s day celebration, sigma beta or social action or educational fund raiser, would be held at the location where the exhibit will be based.(at a museum or African-American center or city hall or other high profile locations)<\/p>\n

This is a win-win situation for all involved. This would get the fraternity’s history out into the community; could be used as a recruitment tool; another way to market the achievements of the fraternity; etc. I don’t see how hosting an exhibit would lose money. The exhibit could also be hosted by undergraduate chapters.<\/p>\n

The hook to the success of this exhibit is that each host chapter would have to obtain corporate sponsorship.<\/p>\n

I believe a traveling museum exhibit for our centennial will leave a profound affect on our communities and could be a catalyst for the rebirth of the fraternity on a national basis (most local chapters are already successful in the communities; this is why I know the exhibit will be just as successful)<\/p>\n

Let me hear brothers’ opinions about this proposal. Also, we would have to recruit volunteers to assist with the museum in order for this effort to happen.<\/em><\/p>\n
