Sigmas Against Teen-Age Pregnancy Plus (SATAPP)
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and the March of Dimes have been working together throughout the country since 1980s. In the past, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and March of Dimes chapters conducted project SATAP, Sigmas Against Teen-Age Pregnancy. In 2001, the relationship was revamped and the program was revised to SATAPP Program (Sigmas Against Teen-Age Pregnancy Plus). The revised program provides the tools to make smart choices about a healthy lifestyle that will lead to responsible fatherhood for teenage to middle-aged single and married men.
October is the Fraternity’s Social Action Month, a month during which all Fraternity chapters across the country are requested to implement the SATAPP Program.
With a motto of “Culture for Service and Service for Humanity,” Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. can help the March of Dimes achieve its mission to improve birth outcomes, and reduce racial and ethnic disparities.
