History
Phi Beta Sigma was founded on the campus of Howard University, Washington D.C. in the spring of 1914.
The founders were three young African American male students.
The
Most Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Most Honorable Leonard F. Morse and Most Honorable Charles I. Brown envisioned a Greek lettered fraternity organization that would maintain three main principles:
Brotherhood, Scholarship and Service.
It was their goal to have an organization that wanted to be part of the community; not one that felt like it had to be part of the community.
It was their belief that an organization should be based on its membership and not on race, nationality, color, skin tone, and texture of hair or family background.
To them, membership selection should be based on leadership qualities, scholarship, positive image, talents, sophistication and a progressive attitude.
They also thought potential members should want to rise their qualities to not only bettering themselves and the organization, but the community as well.
Thus, promoting the organization's motto
Culture for Service, Service for Humanity.
Over the past 88 years, Sigma men have been involved in many social and community action events.
Including the March on Washington, establishing National and state anti-lynching legislation in the 1930's and 1940's, the Million Man March which our National Office serviced as the headquarter and others.
Since its beginning, there have been over 700 chapters across the United States, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean containing more than 110,000 members.
