Greetings! As the 11th National President of this esteemed fraternal order, I welcome you to the home of Sigma Phi Rho Fraternity, Inc. Since thirteen young men at Wagner College set out to build a lasting brotherhood, the Rho has grown into a national, cross-generational fraternity dedicated to fostering strong character and good moral judgment in young men, serving campuses and communities, and cultivating future leaders. We are on The Road to Fifty. As we approach our 50th Anniversary in 2029, we honor the vision of our Founders by living the core values that BLESS our brotherhood: Brotherhood, Leadership, Empowerment, Service, and Scholarship. These are not words on a page. They are a standard we hold ourselves to, in the classroom, in our careers, and in the communities we serve. To the college men visiting today: you were made for more than just getting through. If you want to earn your degree, find your voice as a leader, stand with Brothers who don't fear accountability, and give back to those in need, the Rho is a place where that ambition is welcomed and sharpened. We are looking for men of purpose who want to help write the next fifty years. To my Brothers: I call on every Rhoman to continue serving our mission. Mentor a young man. Inspire your chapter. Bring a Brother back home. Our leadership mantra, "Lifting as We Climb," reminds us that no Rhoman rises alone. Our success depends on each Brother's sincere commitment to uplifting others through heartfelt service and a determination to see things through. Then, with strength, courage, spirit, and integrity, we shall transition from success to significance, united! Fraternally, Courtney A. Bennett |
