F.I.R.M. Family

One of the greatest accolades my fraternity, has is the assistance of founding another fraternity. Brother Baltazar Mendoza-Madrigal assisted 17 men in creating a Latino-based fraternity in the spring of 1986, Sigma Lambda Beta, thus making us “primos.” Their sister organization, Sigma Lambda Gamma, founded in 1990, thus became our “primas.” In addition to Sigma Lambda Beta, Phi Beta Sigma assisted in the founding of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, and are the only constitutionally bound fraternity and sorority within its council, the National Pan-Hellenic Council. These four Greek organizations make up the F.I.R.M. Family, the Royal Family and the only family. To show my love, here’s a desktop wallpaper for my family. ::download allowed::

Stumbled across this while looking for the video for the last post. The historical “African Step” aired on the show “Stomp” performed by the NYC Step Team:

BSU presents Miami Greek Madness

The art of stepping has been apart of predominately Black Greek organizations of the National Pan-Hellenic Council since the 80′s. In this present time, stepping is on a totally different scale. From just stepping to show off to the females, it has now turned into a cash winning experience. A myriad of step shows are thrown each year for Greeks to compete for not only bragging rights, but cash prizes as well. Florida International University’s Black Student Union chapter would like a piece of the step show entertainment and will be hosting their own. Check out the flyer, tell me what you think.
