Glad Founders’ Day!
We couldn’t let the day go with out displaying like to the great brothers of Phi Beta Sigma celebrating 112 years of tradition for service and repair for humanity.
Based January 9, 1914 at Howard College by Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, the storied group sought out to arrange a Greek letter fraternity that might exemplify the beliefs of brotherhood, scholarship, and repair.
To perform this, the Founders created a corporation that considered itself as ‘part of’ the overall neighborhood slightly than ‘aside from’ the overall neighborhood with a devotion to the “inclusive we” slightly than the “unique we.”
At present, Phi Beta Sigma has blossomed into a world group of leaders who established the Phi Beta Sigma Nationwide Basis, the Phi Beta Sigma Federal Credit score Union, and The Sigma Beta Membership Basis with help from their sister group Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
Notable members embody Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Bootsy Collins, Richard Sherman, Terrence Howard, Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Males, Verdine White, Wayne Brady, Al Roker, Dr. Bobby Jones, Ben Vereen, Reginald Hudlin, former President Invoice Clinton, George Washington Carver, Harry Belafonte, Blair Underwood, and extra, together with Leon Robinson, Fred Hammond, Dr. John Ok. Pierre, Dr. Howard Fuller, Dr. George Koonce, Edward Ok. Archer, Dr. DeForest Soaries, and Dave Huie who have been welcomed as honorary members in 2025.
