Representatives of the business community as well as local and state officials, including the Mayor of Sacramento, Kevin Johnson, have already committed to participate. Sigma Pi Phi is recognized as the first African-American Greek-lettered organization in the country. The fraternity was founded on May 15, 1904 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by a group of African-American professionals.

The region s membership spans six states and includes over 800 members representing a variety of professions including medicine, dentistry, law, politics, architecture, engineering, real estate development, education, business and the entertainment industry.

Scholar Athletes Globally Emerging, Inc. If it s to be, it s up to me and I will reach beyond expectations! www.teamsage.org In 2009, Gamma Epsilon Boulé Archon Wornel Simpson looked around his community and decided that there was a need to create a greater capacity for leadership development and inspire the pursuit of academic excellence in its schools. He created Scholar Athletes Globally Emerging, Inc (SAGE) as a vehicle to accomplish those goals. He was soon joined by local community, business and political leaders who stepped forward to provide their support. SAGE grew from a local program that uses sports as a catalyst to support the pursuit of academic excellence to a regional effort that expanded to the rest of Sacramento County and throughout Northern California. Students participating in SAGE include underprivileged kids who enter the program with low grade point averages (GPAs) in the 1.0-1.5 range who are inspired by encouragement and working with their teachers and counselors to GPAs of 3.0-3.5. SAGE is partnering with Gamma Epsilon Boule to support the 2013 Pacific Regional's Gala event and Public Policy Forum to provide yet another opportunity for its members to engage with successful and high achieving African Americans who are members of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity from throughout the Western United States who can inspire SAGE members to achieve even higher levels of achievement. We encourage any potential sponsors to support the partnership of SAGE and Gamma Epsilon Boule in their effort to help develop future leaders of tomorrow and to join us for what will prove to be a memorable experience for all who attend.
