Adopt-A-Classroom: February 2012

Bro. Charles Favors speaks to students
during the February Adopt-A-Classroom
program at Crenshaw High School.

On February 22, 2012 Bros. Charles Favors, Theo Fowles, Kevin Orantes, and Ray Reed participated in the second installment of the Kappa Delta Sigma Adopt-A-Classroom initiative at Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles.

Brothers participating in the initiative speak as monthly guests in Soror Cheylinel Gaston's freshman math class.  During the February session, students discussed the following questions: 1) Who are your role models 2)Who are you a role model to? 3)How are you currently making history?

Students listening to brothers of
Kappa Delta Sigma chapter.

 Students used Flip Cams to share their opinions and experiences.  Many students did not know who they were a role model to.  Bro. Ray Reed shared that, "the funny thing about role models is that there is always someone looking up to you whether you know it or not."  Bro. Theo Fowles added, "a role model-- whether positive or negative-- can still result in your own positive action.  It just depends on your perspective.  

Bro. Orantes graduated from Crenshaw
High School in 2005. 

Bro.  Kevin Orantes, an alum of Crenshaw High School, encouraged the students to thank individuals that they thought of as mentors.  The Adopt-A-Classroom initiative will continue in March when students will work with Brothers to research colleges and professional careers in which the students themselves have expressed interest.

 

The 2012 VITA Program

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

 National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a national HIV testing and treatment community mobilization initiative targeted at Blacks in the United States and the Diaspora. There are four specific focal points: education, testing, involvement, and treatment. Educationally, the focus is to get Blacks educated about the basics of HIV/AIDS in their local communities. Testing is at the core of this initiative, as it is hoped that Blacks will mark February 7th of every year as their annual or bi-annual day to get tested for HIV. This is vital for those who are sexually active and those at high risk of contracting HIV. When it comes to community and organization leadership, getting Blacks involved to serve is another key focus. We need Black People from all walks of life, economic classes, literacy levels, shades and tones as well as small and large communities to get connected to the work happening on the ground in their local areas. Getting those living with HIV or recently-tested positive for the virus connected to treatment and care services is paramount. We have learned that you can't lead Black people towards HIV/AIDS education, prevention, testing, leadership or treatment unless you love them. And, we can't save Black people from an epidemic unless we serve Black people.

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, primarily through its collegiate chapters, seeks to facilitate ongoing dialogue among Brothers on college campuses. In addition, the Fraternity seeks to encourage African-American men to not only become aware of the impact of the disease on our communities but to get tested and become advocates for HIV/AIDS testing.  For additional information about National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day click here.
