During Betacon 2018 the House of Delegates of Sigma Lambda Beta passed a resolution that entities of the fraternity show a short CPR awareness video during informational and open house events. The fraternity’s Executive Board of Directors felt strongly about this resolution and decided to begin the process of creating a video that our entities can utilize. Today we release that video in conjunction with Victor Correa CPR Awareness Day that is annually recognized on November 20th.


This year marks the 27th Anniversary of the first Sigma Lambda Beta man’s entrance into Omega Chapter. On this day, we remember Brother Victor Correa’s passing and encourage everyone to become aware of how to perform hands-only CPR so that future tragedies like his can be avoided.

Victor Correa Ortiz was a mechanical engineering student at Stony Brook University in New York. In his freshman year, Correa went back to Puerto Rico to visit his family. During his visit, while wading off the shores of Puerto Rico he drowned and passed away. Bystanders were not informed on how to administer CPR at the time to possibly save his life.

Victor Correa was a newly initiated brother of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc. Every November, the brothers of Sigma Lambda Beta host events to encouraging certification in CPR as well as provide opportunities for members of their communities to be certified in CPR. Victor Correa CPR Awareness Day is officially held on November 20th, the same day that Brother Victor “Ziggy” Correa was initiated.

This is a powerful way to honor Brother Victor Correa’s memory. It is heartbreaking to think that his passing might have been avoided if bystanders had been trained, but it is incredibly inspiring to see how Sigma Lambda Beta has turned that tragedy into a mission to save others. Using informational events to spread CPR awareness is such a practical way to serve the community. I recently saw a piece on https://englandderbyshire.co.uk/ about how local organizations are becoming the primary source for life-saving skills training, and this initiative fits that perfectly. Hands-only CPR is such a simple skill that can make a massive difference in an emergency. Kudos to the fraternity for this vital work.

nh88 mình ghé lướt thử lúc rảnh, kiểu tò mò xem trang bày biện ra sao thôi. Ấn tượng đầu là bố cục chia khối khá rõ, kéo xuống không bị ngợp chữ, nhìn phát biết chỗ nào là phần hỏi đáp. Mình có đọc nhanh mục FAQ thấy họ nói thẳng chuyện đăng ký xong thì nhắn CSKH online 24 7 để lấy code tân thủ, nên khỏi phải đoán mò. Mấy tiêu đề cũng đặt dễ nhìn nên bấm qua lại giữa các mục không mất công tìm. Nói chung cảm giác dùng nhẹ nhàng, nhất là phần FAQ được tách riêng thành khung nội dung gọn gàng ngay trên trang.

O8 mình vừa lướt thử vài phút vì thấy mọi người nói nhiều, kiểu vào xem giao diện ra sao thôi. Ấn tượng đầu là trang nhìn khá thoáng, chữ nghĩa dễ đọc, mấy khối nội dung chia rõ nên không bị rối mắt. Mình dùng điện thoại là chính mà thấy bấm qua lại ổn, không phải phóng to thu nhỏ liên tục. Có cái mình thích là phần FAQ làm gọn gàng, đọc nhanh là nắm được mấy ý cơ bản chứ không dài dòng. Nói chung cảm giác họ ưu tiên trải nghiệm đơn giản, ai mới vào cũng biết nên nhìn chỗ nào trước. Menu đặt dễ thấy và các mục được gom nhóm rõ ràng…
