Personal Narrative: Beta Sigma Fraternity

The most memorable day in my life was when I became a member of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. First off, I didn’t know anything about becoming a Sigma Beta. I’ve watched plenty of movies that have dealt with fraternities, but it gave me a whole new meaning becoming a member. The requirements for me to become a Beta I wasn’t expecting. That was because all the movies I had watched pertaining to becoming a part of an organization such as this were not the real thing.

That one main question my big brothers always wanted to know from me was what can I do individually in our community to make it better than what it is now and the answer that I gave when I answered was I wanted to become a Massage Therapist. Because in my neighborhood I see lots of people walking around hurting in pain and I feel like I can really help them with them the profession I chose to work in Massage Therapy. I use to love giving any type of massages when I was younger because I was always getting called to either rub someone’s shoulder, their neck, their leg, back, but my
