Sigma Beta Rho was founded on August<br />
16 1996 at the University of Pennsylvania<br />
in Philadelphia. The founders came<br />
<strong>to</strong>gether with a vision of an organization<br />
for the betterment and preservation of<br />
diversity in fraternal organizations. In<br />
order for their vision <strong>to</strong> become reality,<br />
they needed <strong>to</strong> spread their principles<br />
and ideals <strong>to</strong> other college campuses and<br />
establish a nationwide network.<br />

Sigma Beta Rho is one of the fastest growing fraternities with over 45 chapters and<br />
colonies that stretch across the nation. Together the branches work <strong>to</strong> establish the<br />
nationwide network that was envisioned by their founding fathers. The ideals that this<br />
fraternity was founded upon are society, brotherhood and remembrance, which help<br />
create strong leaders for the community.<br />
Currently, Sigma Beta Rho at <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Tech</strong> consists of 10 members, mainly from the<br />
eta class. The fraternity continues <strong>to</strong> uphold the ideals that were established by the<br />
alphas in 2004. With an emphasis on quality over quantity, the <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Tech</strong> colony<br />
of Sigma Beta Rho strives <strong>to</strong> achieve the high goals set forth by its nationals. As this<br />
organization continues <strong>to</strong> grow, the future grows brighter. Roheen Mehra, the current<br />
president, looks forward <strong>to</strong> an exciting 2009 year and hopes <strong>to</strong> continue the expansion<br />
of quality members and serve the community through our “Sig Rho for Kids” campaign<br />
with Blacksburg’s Harding Elementary.
