Phi Beta Sigma

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity is an international association that has become a legacy of excellence. The lineage of greatness began on January 9, 1914 with the three noble founders: Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown on the campus of Howard University, Washington, DC. These proud men formed a chain of esteemed scholars striving to make a difference in society through the principles of brotherhood, scholarship and service. The diversity of their membership was the unique attraction to Sigma. With Culture for Service and Service for Humanity as their motto, the Brotherhood was able to advance a variety of human causes, including civil and equal rights and service to America's communities. Inclusion, rather than exclusion, was the ethical foundation of Sigma's membership. Decade after decade, Phi Beta Sigma has captured within its ranks great men of America's history.
