PERSONAL
STATEMENT
'I joined Sigma Lambda Beta in Fall of 1999 - it was the first semester of my senior year. People might be asking, "Why would you want to join a social fraternity in your senior year? You will be missing all the fun." I did not join this fraternity for the socials, the parties, or the drinking. I joined because I believed in the principles and the way the Brothers composed themselves as gentlemen. If I was looking for the usual party organizations, I would have just joined a mainstream fraternity and partied every night. Sigma Lambda Beta has affected me in many ways. It has guided me into becoming more confident as a person. The Fraternity has also helped me to see the world in a different perspective. It has taught me to be more open-minded and become more social. I know with the support of my brothers, I'll continue to improve myself as I grow with the Fraternity.'
