Greetings from the International President

“Culture for service, service for humanity”

Welcome to the official International Website of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. As you peruse the site, you will able to keep abreast of the fraternity’s programmatic thrusts and other informative activities.

Since Sigma’s inception in 1914, on the campus of Howard University, Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service have been the founding cornerstones of this great fraternity. Our illustrious, visionary founders, A. Langston Taylor, Leonard F. Morse, and Charles I. Brown, recognized, at the outset, the importance of brotherly unity and respect, education, and service to mankind. These guiding principles are reflected in the fraternity’s motto: “Culture for service, service for humanity.” The ideals also are clearly manifested Sigma’s rich tradition of joining forces to positively affect countless lives in local and global communities.

Communities, however, continue to face difficult economic times and health wellness issues. Continuous steadfast commitment to develop solutions to solve these urgent challenges is greatly needed as never before. After all, “What we do says who we are.”

With that in mind, it is this administration’s mission to render continued life changing community service. Therefore, I have chosen as my administration’s theme: Changing Lives Through Service. The vision will be accomplished through strategic program implementation and measurement to ensure we continue to change lives through service by:

• Putting Brothers First
• Modeling and Developing Sigma Leaders…..Reducing Our Leadership Variances
• Making Impact Through Fraternity Signature Programs

Finally, as I stand on the shoulders of noble Sigma men, I am honored and humbled to have been elected to continue the extraordinary heritage of this wondrous brotherhood. Enjoy the site and visit often.
