Our story begins during a time when the Earth was shrouded in darkness and chaos ruled the land. Mankind's knowledge of self had yet to be realized and the minds of the ignorant had dominion over all. The Earth was divided into three regions: the Northern Region, ruled by a group called the Alphanians; the Central Region under the governance of a sect known as the Nupians; and the Southern Region under the reign of a tribe named the Omegonians. The control of the Earth was split among these three lands and each one claimed to have dominion over the other two.
Then on the 9th day of the 1st month in the Year of Light, three noble men journeyed on foot out of the mysterious Western Plains of Darkness. These unknown travelers were dressed in Royal Blue & Pure White garments that bore the mark of "S" over their hearts.
Guided through the darkness by the White Stars and Crescent Moon, they sought to bring knowledge of SIGMA to those being mislead by false ideals. They sought to bring the people of these lands out of the confines of this realm of false illumination to the land of Eternal Light in the Eastern Hills, an uncharted Region of the Earth. In this place, all that actively sought the Truth would be enlightened, but they must first complete a perilous journey across the Burning Sands of Phi Beta. Only those who truly desired the knowledge of Sigma in MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT would survive.
These noble travelers were scoffed by the Rulers of the Three Regions and perceived as fools for daring to undertake the perilous journey across the Burning Sands of Phi Beta . . . a land no man has ever crossed alive.
Driven by the desire to make their cause known, despite the doubt and persecution of the ignorant, they Marched On into the Burning Sands of Phi Beta. To the amazement of the Three Regions, these three men completed the perilous journey across the sands . . . a feat accomplished by no man before they.
And as they entered the Eastern Hills a loud rumbling came forth from the onyx sky and the Heavens opened as wide as the outstretched arms of God. A magnificent white light shone down from the Heavens onto the Earth and the darkness that had lived for so long was consumed by the omnipotent Eternal Light of Phi Beta.
The Rulers of the Three Regions shook in fear as they watched their rule disseminate before their very eyes. The people of the lands that they believed had dominion over all now looked toward the East in complete awe and admiration. The true source of knowledge & power had been revealed and it could not be denied.
A pure white dove soared across the royal blue sky and the people of all Regions looked upward and knew that the Truth was set before them . . .
This is our story . . The story of PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, INC. . . . and it continues on . . .
