Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., an international organization of
college and professional men, was founded on January 9th, 1914 at Howard
University on the principles, Brotherhood, Scholarship and Service. These
principles are exhibited by the fraternity motto, "Culture for Service and
Service for Humanity." As one of the now nine predominantly Black
Greek-Lettered organizations, Phi Beta Sigma has a membership of over 100,000
with over 600 chapters throughout the continental United States, Switzerland,
Europe, the Caribbean and Africa.
According to the official
web site, "Today, eighty-seven years 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, the Phi Beta Sigma Housing Foundation, the Phi Beta Sigma Federal
Credit Union, and the Phi Beta Sigma Charitable Outreach Foundation. Zeta Phi
Beta Sorority, Inc., founded in 1920 with the assistance of Phi Beta Sigma, is
the sister organization. No other fraternity and sorority is constitutionally
bound as Sigma and Zeta. We both enjoy and foster a mutually supportive
relationship."
