SOCIAL ACTION
Phi Beta Sigma has from its very beginning concerned itself with improving the general well-being of minority groups. In 1934, a well-defined program of Social Action was formulated and put into action. Bro. Elmo M. Anderson, then president of Epsilon Sigma Chapter (New York) formulated this program calling for the reconstruction of social order. It was a tremendous success. It fit in with the social thinking of the American public in those New Deal years. In the winter of 1934 Brother Elmo Anderson, James W. Johnson, Emmett May and Bob Jiggets came down to the Conclave in Washington, DC and presented their Social Action proposition, and just the birth of Social Action as a National Program.
Sigma Advocacy is an initiative designed to focus on building our collective voice around legislative policies that impact our communities locally, statewide and nationally. Supporting the publics concern for a particular cause or policy, chapters are encouraged to host or attend local town halls to address any issues impacting the community.
