 Frat History
The PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, INC. was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students known as...
Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown.
These three courageous men wanted to organize a fraternity that exemplified the fraternities three principles, Brotherhood Scholarship, and Service. The founders deeply wished to create an organization that viewed itself as "a part of" the general community rather than "apart from" the general community. They believed that each potential member should be judged on his own merits rather than his family background or affluence...without regard of race, nationality, color, skin tone or texture of hair.
Today, nearly a century later, Phi Beta Sigma has blossomed into an international organization of leaders. No longer a single entity, the fraternity has now established the Phi Beta Sigma Educational Foundation, Inc. (to provide housing assistance), the Phi Beta Sigma Federal Credit Union (to build financial equity within our target communities), and many other community programs.
Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., founded in 1920, are the only fraternity and sorority that is constitutionally bound as Brother and Sister.
