It’s All About Sigma
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students. The Founders, Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, wanted to organize a Greek letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service.
Our Community Impact
Brotherhood, Service, and Community Impact is core to who we are, which encompasses our focus on Economic Development, Scholastic Achievement, Men’s Health & Wellness, Equity, and Development of Our Youth.
Through the Sigma Beta Club, Men of Phi Beta Sigma are mentoring over 4000 young men annually.
In the early 1950’s Phi Beta Sigma became the first of the Devine 9 to establish a youth development initiative as a program.
The Sigma Beta Club of Montgomery County through the men of Sigma Sigma Sigma Chapter have mentored hundreds of you men. Participants learn the importance of servicing others and establish lifelong friendships, as well as the enhancement of meaningful educational and professional opportunities.

The core values of the fraternity resonate with my personal values. The commitment to public service aligns with my personal commitment to seeing that underprivileged areas have access to better services and opportunities. I am a legacy and Phi Beta Sigma is our family tradition. Personally, I’ve gained an opportunity to establish long lasting relationships with like-minded brothers who share the same values and ideas that I have. Additionally, I have gained the ability to network and to assist brothers who are furthering their career aspirations in government affairs.

I chose Sigma way back in 1982, the ΞΑ Chapter at Baruch College. Baruch College is a business school and Sigma is all about business (GOMAB), so it was a natural fit. I received my BBA degree there, but due to family issues did not complete intake and was a Crescent for 36 years. I completed the process Fa18. Sigma has added to my confidence level and introduced me other Brothers of all professions (politicians, business men, entrepreneurs, Doctors, educators, lawyers) which has enriched my network.

“I joined Phi Beta Sigma because I wanted to make a difference and to lend a positive contribution to the world. The Men of Sigma affected positive change in the world, not because they were trying to, but because their contributions happened to do so, which is something I respect and value. Joining Phi Beta Sigma has reaffirmed my personal obligations to strive for thoroughness and excellence, in both my professional life and personal life.”
