BROTHERS ARE WILLING TO ASSIST WITH ADVICE, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE 


Our Phi Sigma Delta brotherhood has HUGE cumulative knowledge and experience in a multitude of topics, many of which could aid a Brother who is struggling with an issue (Legal, Emotional, Financial, Medical, Etc.). When someone is dealing with a crisis situation, another Brother's experience and knowledge could help with the issue and reduce the associated stress. 

Brothers, if you are experiencing a hardship, need legal advice, or, are feeling you are alone, whether related to the listed topics, or, with any issue, please use this brotherhood resource. Simply contact the B.A.R.F. Committee or any Brother, who can then notify the Committee. The Committee will put you in contact with the brother(s) who can assist you. Knowledge shared by your brothers may be the key to resolving your issue.

If any of you are aware of a Brother who needs help, contact any member of the committee, any Association Officer, or any Brother that you are comfortable speaking to. We will network and facilitate contact with a resource. This way, brothers willing to share, and, brothers needing assistance, will be quickly matched.

The B.A.R.F. committee will act as facilitators and will provide you with the contact info for the Brother(s) who can assist you. If you are experiencing a financial or medical hardship, need legal advice or are feeling you are alone, whether related to the listed topics, or, with any life issue, please use this brotherhood resource. If you find that the crisis is critical, our Fund can provide immediate financial assistance to avoid a major negative event. 

We encourage all Brothers in need to contact a B.A.R.F. Committee members who will act as facilitator.

If you find yourself in a difficult situation, think back to our pledge to be brothers at Phi Sigma Delta. As the Newsletter starts out with each issue, "Brotherhood is not a one-year commitment. It is a life-time commitment. We took an oath to remain brothers. An oath is something that cannot be taken back, that's what makes it an oath. Some may have outgrown pounding down beers but you can never outgrow your commitment and the bonds of brotherhood." 

We take this oath seriously, especially now. So, if you find yourself in need of assistance of any kind we want to provide an outstretched hand to Brothers in Need, with no restrictions. This is not charity. This is a demonstration of our belief in our OATH to be brothers forever. "Brothers Helping Brothers" through the shared knowledge or through the power of the FUND.       

 

The current list of topics for assistance can be viewed below.

Any brothers who have not added their names, expertise, experiences or interests to our database are encouraged to participate. You can download the information form on its tab and email it to any B.A.R.F. Committee member. Now that you can see the "what and how", consider contributing to our greater good. Thank you all.
