Pillars of the Fraternity

Home » National Sigma Beta Rho » Pillars of the Fraternity

SIGMA symbolizes SOCIETY

The ideal Society refers to the community in which one lives. Sigma Beta Rho fosters the belief that individuals have a responsibility to the society to which they belong. It is one’s duty as a brother to give back to one’s family, community, and fraternity that which an individual has to offer to the ideal of service.

BETA symbolizes BROTHERHOOD

The invincible bond that is shared between the members of this fraternity. This bond is symbolized by the word “Qurbani” which is the Hindi translation of the word “Sacrifice”. Qurbani represent the strength of our brotherhood and our unity as a Fraternity.

RHO symbolizes REMEMBRANCE

At a time when many individuals share a birthplace different from that of their ancestors. It is necessary for an individual to recognize and appreciate his culture. Sigma Beta Rho not only encourages its members to appreciate their own culture, but also to gain an awareness of other cultures of the members of the fraternity.
