BOSTON U / MIT Mighty Sigma Looks Toward 75th Anniversary The Brothers of Sigma Chapter are pleased to report that the Light of Alpha is being held high in the Greater Boston area. We wish to congratulate the Brothers in San Antonio for having hosted such a successful national convention. Our own Brother Derrick Grubb attended in behalf of Sigma and brought back a detailed report of all that occurred in San Antonio as proof that Alpha lives on across our great nation. In this the 74th year of our propagation Sigma Chapter has continued on a road of excellence and enlightenment. We have embraced into the Brotherhood the men of Prometheus 9 — Brothers Michael Brown, Sean Hamer, Mslunson Delly, Shawn Carter, Kevan Bowers, Kwame Ndzibah, Ramon Eady, Lloyd Wheatley and Carlos Phillips — on December 3 in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight. These
Brothers have stayed true to their name and have set fire to the collegiate world in Boston. They've taken active roles in all that Sigma has been involved with this year. Brother Delly and his committee planned and hosted the 1989 Eastern Region District II Conference (better known as ONEGA—the Organization of New England Chapters of Alpha). Continuing in our tradition of socially conscious and eloquent Brothers, Brother Douglas McCollough won the ONECA oratory competition with a dissertation on "The Talented Tenth Revisited" and Brother Kevan Bowers won the ONECA College Brother of the Year. As we ushered into the Fraternity the men of Prometheus, we noted the loss of Brother Anthony R. Anderson as he moved onto the graduate chapter. We wish him luck in all that he does and remind him that he is forever a Brother of Sigma Chapter. We would also like to extend a special note of Thanks to Brother Derrick Grubb for his tenure as Sigma Chapter President. Brother Grubb's efforts are unrivaled as he had to lead Sigma in a period of great trial and tribulation. He was called upon to give of his time and self endlessly, but like a true Alpha Man his head is bloody, but unbowed. He set an example that all of us in Sigma Chapter have learned from and hope to be strong enough to follow. Page 29
