PHI BETA SIGMA
|
 |
hi Beta Sigma Fraternity,
Inc., an international
organization of college
and professional men, was
founded on January 9,
1914 on the campus of Howard
University in Washington, D.C. by
three students, the most honorable
and noble A. Langston Taylor, Charles
I. Brown, and Leonard F. Morse. Phi
Beta Sigma Fraternity has established
and run a variety of foundations,
organizations, and institutions which
follow the ideals and principles
upon which this great fraternity was
founded: Brotherhood, Scholarship,
and Service. Giving those ideals
practical meaning has made and will
continue to make Phi Beta Sigma a
great and dynamic fraternity. The
principles are exhibited in the motto
"Culture for Service and Service for
Humanity."
Phi Beta Sigma consists of
men dedicated to enhancing and
promoting systematic fellowship,
justice, equal rights, and service to
America’s communities. Being both
a service and social organization,
Phi Beta Sigma has many programs.
The three national programs are
Social Action, Education, and
Bigger and Better Business. In
order to implement these and other
programs, the Fraternity works with
organizations such as The National
Boys and Girls Clubs of America,
The NAACP, National Foundation
of the March of Dimes, Birth Defects
Division, and the American Cancer
Society. Helping to shape, mold, and
guide our nation and world’s young
men has been achieved through
our national mentor program, the
Sigma Beta Club. One of the main
goals of Phi Beta Sigma is to be the
leading pro-active community service
organization. There is a great deal
of work needed to restore the faith
and hope to many ailing communities
across the nation. Phi Beta Sigma will
play a part in the healing process.
International headquarters in
Washington, D.C. was the site of the
national headquarters for the Million-
Man March which was co-sponsored
by the Men of Sigma and the Ladies
of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
Over 91 years later, Phi Beta
Sigma Fraternity has emerged as an
international organization of leaders
with over 100,000 initiated men and
chapters in the United States, Africa,
Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean. The
fraternity is dedicated to providing
services to not only members of
Sigma, but to all of humanity. |
