Founded at Howard University on January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students wanting to organize a Greek letter fraternity which would be devoted to the “inclusive we” rather than the “exclusive we”.
Men of Sigma are born leaders, representing a wide variety of career paths in today's society. We are bold, intentional, and courageous... We are "A Brotherhood of Conscious Men Actively Serving Our Communities".
Interested in serving our communities? There are countless ways to get involved with Phi Beta Sigma by giving of your time, talents, and energy by volunteering with an Alumni or Collegiate chapter in your local area.
The foundation was created to service as the philanthropic partner of the Fraternity, it is a nonprofit, nonstock corporation organized for charitable, educational, cultural, and service purposes directed towards the improvement of living, working, housing, health, and educational conditions of all persons, in particular minorities.
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., not only thrives off the character and energy of our Brothers, but also the financial contributions that help keep our organization healthy and sound. Make a Donation today!
