Sigma Beta Rho (ΣΒΡ, also SigRho) is a national, collegiate, multicultural, Greek-lettered fraternity. On August 16, 1996, Sigma Beta Rho was founded at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia as a South-Asian Interest Fraternity. It has since re-aligned its ideals to promote diversity within its membership and encourage cultural awareness on over 40 college campuses across the United States.
The National Executive Board (NEB) is the governing body of Sigma Beta Rho, and presides over the nation-wide fraternity, which is divided into eight interim regions. Each region is appointed by the NEB one member, or Regional Governor, who acts as the envoy to his respective region on the behalf of the NEB.
Sigma Beta Rho is involved in many community service and welfare programs centered on Youth Education and Development, the fraternity’s philanthropy. Children International and SOS Children’s Villages are Sigma Beta Rho’s philanthropic focus for 2010. In March of 2010, Sigma Beta Rho also launched an internet-based newsletter, the Seven Star Journal, which includes articles by members and non-members alike.
