I WANNA BE A BETA!

We are pleased with your interest in Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc. Since April 4th, 1986, Sigma Lambda Beta has grown from a single chapter at the University of Iowa to well over 70 chapters, colonies and alumni associations that stretch from California to New York and even reach the shores of Puerto Rico.
