Chicago Alumni Network Scholarship Banquet

2nd Year Scholarship Banquet

Six-thirty hit in Chicago, Illinois at the Mayfield Banquet facility and 300 people overwhelmed the banquet floors. Out of those 300 people, 200 Chicago-land brothers filled the room. Brothers such as Founding Father Baltazar Mendoza were in attendance

for this outstanding event. The most valuable thing that was encountered was the massive amounts of brothers stemming back to 1986. Founders from the state of Indiana were present and iconic figures that have helped our organization in the state of Illinois

and nationally were also present to honor our principles.

Scholarship is an important factor within our organizations beliefs and on Saturday, March 21st, 200 brothers came together to celebrate our values, our ideals, and our organization. This great night started with a Mariachi ensemble. It later ended with a

fundraising activity, which raised over $5,000.00 in the span of 15 minutes. Lastly, CAN acknowledged all of their loyal sponsors.

The Chicago-land brothers emulate what Sigma Lambda Beta stands for. This banquet is a great event that the Chicago Alumni Network has successfully executed. This night was a fun-filled night, which highlighted our past, our present, and our future.

Membership in Sigma Lambda Beta does not end after your collegiate career. Alumni are an integral part in the development of our collegiate members, as well as general support for our Fraternity. Alumni Brothers are a testament to the success of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Incorporated. Additionally, Alumni play an increasingly crucial role in our future success. Active alumni serve as entity advisors, communicate important career related information and are often mentors to Brothers as well as contribute annually to the Sigma Lambda Beta Education Foundation, which provides scholarships to Brothers. As an Alumnus, there are hundreds of ways to continue living our values, serving the community and sharing our culture. We, the Brothers of the Tampa Bay and surrounding area of Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Incorporated, recognize the need to promote the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, service and cultural awareness beyond our collegiate years and into adulthood and have therefore, established the Tampa Bay Alumni Network to fulfill this purpose. In accordance with our National Constitution and guidelines, we see a need for the preservation and advancement of all men and believe that adherence to excellence, moral, ethical, and educational standards is the instrument best fitted to promote our community. In governing our actions, we have adopted the following by-laws. Mission Statement: The Tampa Bay Alumni Network promotes brotherhood, professional networking, encourages career, educational, and personal development through stellar programming that encompass our 3 pillars of mind, body and spirit. Further to realize our mission, the Network shall further promote the Fraternitys four principles of Brotherhood, Scholarship, Community Service, and Cultural Awareness, and is committed to apply these principles in our daily lives and for the betterment of the communities from which we hail. Overview: The TBAN is a group of SLB alumni who remain committed to the values and brotherhood bonds formed during our undergraduate years. We currently have members whose professional careers and personal achievements span across a wide variety of interests in the Tampa Bay area. The Network strives a to create an environment for SLB alumni to enhance their skills personally and professionally, foster and guide fellow brothers, network with other alumni and professional organizations, and most importantly, maintain our ties and commitment to Sigma Lambda Beta. Past events TBAN have conducted a series of workshops entitled what is your motivation in which we focus on alumni brothers who are professionals along with non-brothers professionals that work in certain area and talk about certain topics. The first one workshop

we hosted we had 4 brothers who own their own business. They spoke about how they went about opening and pursing their business and what motivated them to continue. The second one we had was about finance; we had a few brothers that are in the finance business talk about 401k, budgets and savings. We also have assisted the local Psi chapter with the 20th anniversary celebration that took place in Jan 2015.

Northern California Alumni Network

The award will be presented at this year's Northern California SLB Formal, so we invite all alumni interested in attending the formal to contact Quacy Superville for more information.

No matter where we stand politically, we accept our warriors and veterans with open arms and open hearts.

One only has to talk to the veterans of previous wars and conflicts to get a glimpse that the profound effects of war

never really leave.

The mission for Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover all our warriors and veterans who have been touched by war

with our healing and comforting Quilts of Valor.

Quilts of Valor: First introduced at BetaCon 2014 in St. Louis, Missouri. Now this foundation has touched all our brothers across the country that has served in the military.

We would like to continuously extend our gratitude to these alumni that have given of their life and sacrifice for

our freedom.

From all the alumni across the country THANK YOU!
