NASSAU, Bahamas – The College of the Bahamas chapter of Phi Beta Sigma was named the most outstanding chapter of the Southern Region of the fraternity recently.

The chapter was awarded the title for program implementation, chapter operations, academic achievements and management.

“This is a huge honor for the chapter as we continue to service not only the community of The College of The Bahamas but the Bahamas at large,” said Beta Beta Lambda immediate past president Javon Rolle. “This only sets the chapter up to do bigger things under the new administration.”

Rolle was president for 2015—the time frame the award covers. The southern region of The Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. encompasses Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and The Bahamas. Rolle was also inducted into the Collegiate Hall of Fame for the Southern Region for success in leadership and scholarship.

Graduate advisor for the collegiate chapter Christopher Saunders said he was impressed with the chapter as the brothers continue to embrace the international fraternity’s motto of ‘Culture for Service and Service to Humanity’.

The Beta Beta Lambda chapter was the first Black Greek Lettered Organization chartered on the campus of The College of The Bahamas. The chapter was chartered November 5, 2004.
