Mission Statement

Welcome to the Zeta Alpha Sigma Alumni Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated! Our mission is to have a positive impact on the Howard County, MD area through our programs and initiatives. We strive to exemplify the fraternity's high ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service.

About This Cause

Our Core Public and Community initiatives and drives consist of our Bigger and Better Business initiatives, our Education initiatives and our Social Action initiatives in line with our founding principles of brotherhood, scholarship and service. The Bigger and Better Business serves as the umbrella for other national initiatives involving business. The program's goals include supporting minority businesses, increasing communication with sigma brothers involved with business, and instilling sound business principals and practices to members of the community. Project S.E.E.D. (Sigma Economic Empowerment Development) is the foremost Bigger and Better Business Program. The program was developed to help the membership focus on two important areas: Financial Management and Home ownership. Our Education initiative focuses on programming and services to graduates and undergraduates at collegiate levels. Programs such as scholarships, lectures, college fairs, mentoring, and tutoring enhance this program on local, regional and national levels. Project S.E.T. (Sigma Education Time) is focused on increasing grade point averages and graduation rates of collegiate's throughout the nation. The program aims to help with job readiness, choosing a career path {3-5 year outlook}, interviewing techniques, negotiating and entrepreneurship. The Sigma Beta Club provides mentoring, guidance, educational tutorial assistance and advice to young men between ages 6 to 18. Our Social Action programs are Project Vote, Sigma Wellness, Sigma Presence on Capitol Hill, and projects S.W.W.A.C. & S.A.T.A.P.P. Project S.W.W.A.C. (Sigmas Waging War Against Cancer) is a concentrated and coordinated effort to reduce the incidence of cancer in the African American community. Through a partnership with the American Cancer Society, the goal of Project S.W.W.A.C. is to increase awareness, with a strong emphasis on early detection and prevention of prostate and Colorectal cancer. Project S.A.T.A.P.P. (Sigmas Against Teen-Age Pregnancy Plus) is a collaborative venture with the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation to address the alarming rise in teenage pregnancy. The Sigma Wellness Project is focused on living healthier lifestyles through education. The goal of Project Vote is to register and educate citizens and encourage members of the community to participate in the democratic process. The Sigma Presence on Capitol Hill Program is focused on presenting Sigma members the opportunity to discuss many of the critical issues facing our communities with members of the U.S. Congress.
