23	23	HR 1545/DI 140 2024 2
24	24	1 Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.;
25	25	2 Whereas, The sorority is the sister organization of the
26	26	3 fraternity, and no other fraternity and sorority known to man
27	27	4 are constitutionally bound as Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta
28	28	5 are, and they both foster a mutually supportive relationship;
29	29	6 Whereas, Phi Beta Sigma's greatest asset and source of
30	30	7 strength are its brothers. They are the main tools used to
31	31	8 accomplish the goals of the fraternity. It was crucial to
32	32	9 implement mechanisms that successfully represent the
33	33	10 fraternity's motto, "Culture for Service and Service for
34	34	11 Humanity", that encourages service, scholarship, and
35	35	12 brotherhood;
36	36	13 Whereas, The founders of Zeta Phi Beta were strong,
37	37	14 principled coeds who possessed a great deal of modesty,
38	38	15 strength of character, and pride in academic achievement, and
39	39	16 they believed that the sorority is more than an organization, it
40	40	17 was a movement;
41	41	18 Whereas, This belief system reflected, at its core, the desire
42	42	19 to provide meaningful Service, exemplify true Scholarship, set
43	43	20 a standard for Sisterly Love, and define the noble concept of
44	44	21 Finer Womanhood;
45	45	22 Whereas, One hundred ten years later, Phi Beta Sigma has
46	46	23 grown into a global leadership organization with many
47	47	24 counterparts;
48	48	25 Whereas, The fraternity has since formed the Phi Beta Sigma
49	49	26 Housing Foundation, the Phi Beta Sigma Educational
50	50	27 Foundation, the Phi Beta Sigma Federal Credit Union, the Phi
51	51	28 Beta Sigma Charitable Outreach Foundation, and the Sigma
52	52	29 Beta Club, a youth auxiliary group, to improve the quality of
53	53	30 life for others;
54	54	31 Whereas, As they embark on their 104th year of service, Zeta
55	55	32 Phi Beta's national and local programs have sustained and
56	56	33 uplifted people of color through the endowment of its National
57	57	34 Educational Foundation, the Zetas Helping Other People Excel
58	58	35 community outreach programs, and their engagement of all

60	60	HR 1545/DI 140 2024 3
61	61	1 community members through their youth, adult, and male
62	62	2 auxiliary programs;
63	63	3 Whereas, Each local Zeta chapter in the state of Indiana has
64	64	4 given untotaled hours of voluntary service alongside their
65	65	5 auxiliaries to educate the public, improve the quality of life for
66	66	6 youth and families, provide scholarships, support organized
67	67	7 charities, and promote social and civic change legislation;
68	68	8 Whereas, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., and Zeta Phi Beta
69	69	9 Sorority, Inc., are the only National Pan-Hellenic Council
70	70	10 organizations that can claim an authentic brother-sister
71	71	11 association through a constitutional bond;
72	72	12 Whereas, This constitutional bond, strengthened throughout
73	73	13 the decades, has allowed both organizations to work closely
74	74	14 together as they attempt to materialize what their founders
75	75	15 envisioned through a deep and abiding dedication to enhancing
76	76	16 and promoting systematic fellowship, civic engagement, justice,
77	77	17 equal rights, and service to all humankind; and
78	78	18 Whereas, It is important to acknowledge and recognize the
79	79	19 efforts and unwavering dedication of the brothers of Phi Beta
80	80	20 Sigma and sisters of Zeta Phi Beta, as they continue to uplift
81	81	21 their communities and provide proactive services to create an
82	82	22 equitable world where all people can thrive: Therefore,
