SIGMA BETA CLUB
OUR HISTORY
In the early 1950s, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity became the first Greek organization to develop a youth auxiliary group. Under the direction of the Past President, Dr. Parlett L. Moore, the Sigma Beta Club was founded. While serving as National Director of Education, Brother Moore was concerned about the changing needs in our communities. He recognized the important role that Sigma men could play in the lives of our youth. Sigma Beta Club chapters across the country have mentored thousands of young men over the past 60 years. Participants learn the importance of serving others and establish lifelong friendships as well as meaningful relationships with caring Mentors.
The Sigma Beta Club’s principles of focus emphasize the Culture, Athletics, Social, and Educational needs of youth. Sigma Beta Club programs are geared to meet the needs of its members (8 – 18 years old) but, at the same time, provide them with a well-rounded outlook needed to cope with today’s society. Alpha Alpha Gamma Sigma Chapter has been operating Sigma Beta Clubs for years as we bring our talent and services to the youth of Spring Lake and Fayetteville through various developmental initiatives. We are confident that investing in our youth today will produce effective leaders of tomorrow.
Scheduled at local libraries or schools and occurring throughout the year, our Sigma Beta Club facilitates meetings between our youth members and meticulously screened mentors, who are esteemed professionals with a vested interest in youth development—many of whom are fathers. Collaborating with parents, other youth auxiliaries, and various nonprofit/community-based organizations, we orchestrate enriching service-learning opportunities and immersive experiences for each mentee to foster personal growth and professional development.
From immersive college tours to specialized etiquette training and comprehensive leadership development sessions, the Spring Lake Sigmas are dedicated to nurturing young boys into resilient and accomplished young men equipped with the skills and determination necessary for success in college, career, and beyond. Our commitment to the Sigma Beta Club's motto, "Next generation of leaders accepting the responsibility and loving the challenge," is exemplified daily by our young men, who embody its ethos with unwavering dedication and resolve.
