Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. was founded on the campus of Howard University on January 9, 1914. Three young visionaries (Honorable Brothers: A. Langston Taylor, Charles I. Brown and Leonard F. Morse) recognized the need for a fraternity that accepted men on the basis of their personal character, rather than that of their social status. With 13 brave men willing and ready to start upon the journey that would last the rest of their lives, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. began one of the greatest traditions that has prospered unto this day. In the memory of these prestigious men, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. continues to search for men who "will" uphold the fraternity's most precious principles: Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service.

To this day, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. is one of the largest fraternities in the world, with at least one chapter in every of the 50 States of America. Phi Beta Sigma has also branched its brotherhood into the continents of Africa and Australia.

Not only does Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. take great pride in brotherhood, but also in family. The beautiful ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. makes this special "Blue and White" team the only "True Brother and Sister" Black Greek Fraternity and Sorority. "Constitutionally" bound these lovely ladies exemplifies the true meaning of Finer Womanhood, Sisterly Love, Scholarship, and Service.
