The Gwinnett alumni chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated, Rho Beta Sigma, showed up in high-fashion, bowties and gowns to celebrate their 10th charter anniversary with a benefit Gala. Divine Nine members and community supporters came from all around the Metro Atlanta area to help celebrate Rho Beta Sigma and its charter members.
