Beta Beta Lambda Chapter
NASSAU, BAHAMAS - Beta Beta Lambda Chapter began to function independently (though always supported and advised by the graduate chapter) from Delta Epsilon Sigma Chapter in the fall of 2005. Our first elected officers were: Bros. Derek W. Smith II (President), Emille M. Hunt (Vice-President), D’Angelo Reid (Treasurer) and Gerardo Williams (Secretary). Even from the Chapter’s initial inception, we had distinguished ourselves as a chapter of firsts. We are the first undergraduate chapter of any historically Black Greek Letter Organization to be chartered outside of the continent of America, and the first and ONLY Fraternity recognized at the College of the Bahamas. The Beta Beta Lambda Chapter consists of men of intelligence,
dedication and diligence who are devoted to furthering the cause of Sigma through Brotherhood, Scholarship and Service. The Delta Epsilon Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., was founded in Nassau, Bahamas on May 19, 1978. This chapter was chartered because Bahamian brothers felt they needed a local outlet (Graduate Chapter) for brothers who had recently graduated from college in the U.S.A. The five Charter Members were: Bros. Rev. Enoch Backford (renown Baptist Minister in The Bahamas), Kevin Hanna, (bank executive at The Bank of The Bahamas), William Dean (tourism official in The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism), Danny Strachan and Freddie Munnings, Jr. The ongoing quest of SigmaBahamas is to serve The Bahamas as a leader in the local Greek world. This is being accomplished by providing and endorsing meaningful social activities, making available opportunities for scholarly endeavors, and most importantly, attracting and maintaining a collection of young business-minded men who possess high morals and socioeconomic standards. Without these dedicated men the organization would cease to exist and its ideals would perish. Bro. D’Angelo Reid
