Whereas, founded at
Whereas, further, during the Southeastern Regional Conference's seventy-year history, it has had three long-term college presidents who have helped to shape educational policy in this State: Dr. B.J. Glover at Allen University, Dr. Alonzo Swinton at Benedict College, and Dr. H.V. Manning at Claflin University; and
Whereas, in addition, it was brothers from this great State, Richard L. Boone and Dr. Kevin R. Blake, who led the expansion of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity in London, England, within the United Kingdom. The Southeastern Region has expanded the arms of service across the Atlantic into the monarchy to provide a place of belonging, assistance, and support to the downtrodden and those in need within British communities; and
Whereas, during the Southeastern Region's seventy years of service, it has been led by several South Carolinians, such as the present regional director, Richard L. Boone of Sumter, whose leadership, foresight, and continued service to communities of South Carolina is worthy of praise. Also deserving of commendation are former regional directors Larry D. McCutcheon of Orangeburg; Larry Blanding of Sumter; Harrison D. Ervin of Florence; Lawrence Rouse, formerly of Sumter; and the late James T. Floyd of Greenville, who owns the distinction of being the first and only individual from South Carolina to date who has served as international president of the fraternity; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House values the long and productive service of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., and extends best wishes to the members of the fraternity's Southeastern Regional Conference as they celebrate the conference's seventieth anniversary. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Southeastern Regional Conference of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., on the occasion of its seventieth anniversary of service and welcome to South Carolina the members of the conference as they celebrate their platinum jubilee from March 22 to March 24, 2024, in Columbia.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Southeastern Regional Conference of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. ----XX---- This web page was last updated on March 6, 2024 at 10:41 AM |
