Local Sigma chapters named best in N.C.
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
The Winston-Salem collegiate (Delta
Alpha) and alumni (Delta Sigma) chapters
of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. won big
during the fraternity's North Carolina State
Conference, which took place in Durham on
the campus of North Carolina Central
University from Sept. 28-29.
Local Sigmas were recognized individu
ally and collectively for their talents and the
hard work they do in their local chapters
and the community at large. Individual
awards went to: Nick Gilchrist, a senior
English major at Winston Salem State
University, who won the oratorical contest;
Calvin Holloway, the Delta Alpha Chapter
advisor, was named Alumni Brother of the
Year; and Lakia Cooper, who represented
the Delta Alpha Chapter in the Miss Phi
Beta Sigma Pageant, finished as first-runner
up.
The Delta Alpha Chapter was named
Collegiate Chapter of the Year, and the
Delta Sigma Chapter was named Alumni
Chapter of the Year. The winners will rep
resent the state during the Southeastern
Regional Conference in March.
"It was indeed a great honor to receive
such a prestigious award," Chapter
President Reginald McCaskill said.
"Knowing that you have been chosen as the
best chapter in the entire state is something
that the Sigmas of Winston-Salem should be
very proud of."
Brandon Browne, WSSU Chapter presi
dent stated: "Our chapter turned 80 this past
April, so this basically means that we are
continuing the legacy of our chapter. We
are the champions and are happy to serve by
any means necessary, not just for winning
awards but for the betterment of our com
munity."
The Alumni Chapter was very involved
in the conference, facilitating three work
shop sessions. Calvin Holloway led a work
shop on "Image, Programming and
Recruitment," McCaskill led a workshop on
"Networking" and Darryl Prince led a work
shop on "Protocol and Procedures."
There are 21 Collegiate and 16 Alumni
chapters in North Carolina. Timothy
Morgan of Salisbury is the state director.
