President Rey Doubles Down on his Commitment to the Fraternity
Impact One pledge is the largest Individual Donation in Phi Beta Sigma History
|
|
The old saying goes, ‘put your money where your mouth is.’ International President, Chris V. Rey, J.D. has done just that, by personally committing to donate $125,000 to the PBS Impact Foundation Inc.
“Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity’s ability to impact communities in the future will be determined by our investment today,” President Rey said. “To whom much is given, much is required. I am humbled and grateful to do my part for my fraternity.”
The PBS Impact Foundation is the 501c3 entity with accountability for the Impact ONE funds, as well as the vehicle to seek and manage grants that support the Fraternity's programs.
The Impact One Annual Fund campaign, reaches out to individual members, chapters, and friends of the PBS Impact Foundation. Impact One bridges the gap between finances collected by Phi Beta Sigma through dues and other entities, making it possible to fund the Fraternity’s ongoing programs and initiatives. These donations are used to fund grants, operating costs, and other programs.
While the Foundation reaches out to individuals and organizations through various media, support is encouraged and welcomed anytime. It’s easy and convenient to give. Donations are accepted online, by mail or by phone. To learn more or make a donation, visit: https://phibetasigma1914.org/impactone/

Honorable Bro. Dr. Dudley Flood receives North Carolina's Highest Civilian Honor
|
|
Recently, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper bestowed the highest civilian honor on nine North Carolinians, including Phi Beta Sigma's Honorable Bro. Dr. Dudley Flood.
The 2020-2021 North Carolina Awards were presented at the North Carolina Museum of Art in late November. "It's so exciting that you begin to ask yourself, how in the world did they decide that they would do this for me,” Hon. Bro. Dr. Flood said. “What I've done with my life, I thought it would be my reasonable service. I never thought to be rewarded for it any particular way."
Hon. Bro. Dr. Flood, a Gold Life Member of the Eta Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma, graduated from North Carolina Central University in 1954. He earned his master's degree in Education Administration from East Carolina University in 1970 and his Doctorate in Education from Duke University in 1980.
He taught school 1955-1967 and was a principal at a Pitt County School from 1968-1970.
After teaching, Dr. Flood went on to work for the State Department of Public Instruction from 1970-1973. That's when he and his colleague Gene Causby, were tasked with helping desegregate public schools in the state. The full story was featured in the November 7th issue of The Crescent.
