TIME, TALENT, TREASURE
“Infusing the mentality of giving into our brotherhood at all stages of our SLB lives!”
As brothers of Sigma Lambda Beta, we take a vow that is meant to last a lifetime. If an objective of being a brother is to better our communities, country, and the world, then we need to continue to give back to our organization throughout our lives. The 3Ts initiative is creating educational and programmatic opportunities for brothers to better understand how they can and should give of one or more of their 3Ts throughout their lives.
