The members of the SIGMA BETA CLUB has joined with many other organizations in and around Birmingham, Alabama with the "Adopt-A-Mile" project. This project allows an organization to select a single mile of their own along the Birmingham roads to clean and maintain. The young brothers of the SIGMA BETA CLUB selected their mile in the early 2000's in the suburb of Woodlawn on 1st Avenue. Because of their accomplishments and dedication, the young brothers today are working to keep the mile one of the cleanest around.
