Mission

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. was founded at Howard University in Washington , D.C. , January 9, 1914 , by three African American male students on the principles of brotherhood, scholarship and service. From its inception, the founders also conceived Phi Beta Sigma as a mechanism to deliver services to the general community. Rather than gaining skills to be utilized exclusively for themselves and their immediate families, the founders of Phi Beta Sigma held a conviction that is mirrored in the Fraternity’s motto, “Culture For Service and Service For Humanity.” Thus, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. has always lived with the understanding and purpose that we are the community that we serve, hence the fraternity focus on service initiatives that recognize the fraternity as a part of the inclusive we, as opposed to the exclusive we. This ideology of service for service’s sake has earned Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. the distinction of being called “The People’s Fraternity.”
