Today Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc. celebrates 40 years of existence. As a young man at Western Michigan University I was honored on 4/17/1999 @6:01:26am to become part of that legacy. Shout to our MOA line: My LB’s #4 of 6 L.S.D.N. (WMU), GVSU, CMU, MSU, U of M, EMU the Ohio Players, my family in NY, Chicago and the West Coast! . Thankful for the true friendships and real brothers I’ve made and forged lasting memories with. It also happens to be that as a veterano I got to educate and witness the development of my two brothers in law. Two men who have provided excellent examples of family, dedication and commitment through all of our trial and tribulations. To my wife thank you for saying no to my request to dance that first time around in college. I don’t think we’d have built the life we had if you’d say yes. Thank you for making me work for it and saying “YES” eventually- in our 30’s! 🥂 to our life together 😘. To the women of Sigma Lambda Gamma Sorority Inc. SLB would not exist were it not for you. I recognize you and I thank you for the unsung role you’ve played in order to get the org. Into our 40’s. “In Our Toil, In Our Strife…” LLLLLLB! 4/4/2026
