GK Dance-a-Thon

On February 6, Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. and NU Barkada hosted the Gawad Kalinga Dance-a-Thon to raise money for Gawad Kalinga. Gawad Kalinga (GK) is an alternative solution to the blatant problem of poverty not just in the Philippines but in the world. GK’s vision for the Philippines is a slum-free, squatter-free nation through a simple strategy of providing land for the landless, homes for the homeless, food for the hungry and as a result providing dignity and peace for every Filipino.

SIGMA BETA RHO & KAPPA PHI LAMBDA PRESENT “ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER?”

On Tuesday, November 3rd 2009, the brothers of the Northeastern University Associate Chapter of Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. hosted Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? with Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority at AfterHours. During the event, student partners were asked a series of questions from elementary school subject groups, including 1st grade math, 2nd grade physical education, 3rd grade geography, and more! Members of Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. and Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority assisted the contestants as student helpers in which the competing teams could use lifelines in order to “cheat” off them for the correct answer. Prizes were awarded to the top two teams and other items were raffled off at the end of the event.

The event was part of MGC week and set out to raise funds to sponsor impoverished children through the support of Children International. The contributions raised through the event will help pay for the sponsored child’s medical and dental care, educational assistance, durable clothing and shoes, improved living conditions, and much more. The main program asks for $22 dollars a month in order to sponsor one child, and given that small sum our Fraternity has a chance to largely improve the lives of many, many children for an extended period of time.

Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. would like to thank all the people who came out to participate in the competition and support our cause!

QUIZ BOWL SUPPORTING SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES

On Wednesday, October 7th 2009, the brothers of the Northeastern University Associate Chapter of Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. hosted the 1st annual Northeastern College Bowl. Twelve student organizations competed against each other in a free-for-all quiz bowl competition benefiting SOS Children’s Villages.

SOS Children’s Villages is an organization that builds villages across the globe, with the goal of providing a comfortable, family-oriented place to live for orphaned or abandoned children. Children who have been abandoned or orphaned come to SOS Children’s Villages where they are integrated into a loving family environment. They are nurtured and supported by an SOS Mother and up to 15 other children in their SOS home who become their SOS brothers and sisters. Strong bonds develop within these ‘SOS families’, and even after the children are grown and leave the village, these family relationships endure.

The competition was comprised of various rounds of questions ranging anywhere from academics and NEU history to pop culture. There were both individual and team rounds plus bonus rounds such as the popular “Name that Tune” round. Additionally, teams could earn bonus points by making charitable donations to SOS throughout the competition.

Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. would like to congratulate Kappa Sigma Fraternity on their 1st place victory, Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority for coming in 2nd place, and Phi Delta Chi Fraternity for placing in 3rd place! Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. would also like to thank UTSAV, Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, CUP, Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority, Delta Zeta Sorority, Kappa Delta Sorority, Alpha Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Delta Phi Omega Sorority, and Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity for participating in the first annual Northeastern College Bowl and for their generous contributions to SOS Children’s Villages!
