SIGMA BETA RHO

What is Sigma Beta Rho?

Sigma Beta Rho is the premier national multicultural fraternity in the United States. Founded in 1996 on the principles of duty to society, dedication to brotherhood, and the remembrance of cultural awareness, Sigma Beta Rho has since grown to share its goals with over 2,500 men on over 45 college campuses.

What is the chapter’s purpose?

The Northeastern University Chapter was founded on April 14th, 2007 by 13 young gentlemen. These individuals were strangers to one another, coming from different cultures, backgrounds, and lifestyles. Through the principles of Sigma Beta Rho, these 13 men grew to understand and respect one another and celebrate the differences which make them unique. Unified through diversity, these gentlemen became known as the Alpha Class of Northeastern University.

What are the core values in your organization?

In the year that followed, the Alpha Class passed on the teachings of brotherhood beyond all barriers to ten additional gentlemen who were inducted as the Beta and Gamma classes of Sigma Beta Rho at Northeastern University. With the assistance of other multicultural Greeks, these 23 gentlemen pioneered the establishment of the Multicultural Greek Council at Northeastern University in the fall of 2008 and became an officially recognized multicultural Greek organization at Northeastern University. Their enthusiasm has fueled their success in the years following, and they continue to maintain an active presence in both the Northeastern and surrounding Boston communities.
