Become A Beta

We are excited that you are interested in joining that special and distinctive community of Sigma Lambda Beta men. We also want to acknowledge that joining a fraternal organization such as Sigma Lambda Beta is a significant decision in one’s life. Because of this, you must have as much information as possible so that you can make the best decision for yourself. It is imperative that you do your due diligence and learn about those fraternities that you believe are of interest to you. For example, it is important to know the organization's history, mission, and values so that they align with your own. There is no one formulaic equation that anyone can provide you. It simply has to be right for you. What we have learned as this process will require that you be candid with yourself!
