We couldn’t let the day cross without displaying love to the nice brothers of Phi Beta Sigma celebrating 112 years of tradition for service and service for humanity.
Founded January 9, 1914 at Howard University by Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, the storied group sought out to manage a Greek letter fraternity that would exemplify the beliefs of brotherhood, scholarship, and service.
To accomplish this, the Founders created an group that considered itself as ‘a half of’ the final group fairly than ‘aside from’ the final group with a devotion to the “inclusive we” fairly than the “exclusive we.”
Today, Phi Beta Sigma has blossomed into an worldwide group of leaders who established the Phi Beta Sigma National Foundation, the Phi Beta Sigma Federal Credit Union, and The Sigma Beta Club Foundation with assist from their sister group Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
Notable members embrace Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Bootsy Collins, Richard Sherman, Terrence Howard, Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men, Verdine White, Wayne Brady, Al Roker, Dr. Bobby Jones, Ben Vereen, Reginald Hudlin, former President Bill Clinton, George Washington Carver, Harry Belafonte, Blair Underwood, and more, along with Leon Robinson, Fred Hammond, Dr. John K. Pierre, Dr. Howard Fuller, Dr. George Koonce, Edward K. Archer, Dr. DeForest Soaries, and Dave Huie who have been welcomed as honorary members in 2025.
“We’re excited to welcome this class of honorary members to the Phi Beta Sigma Brotherhood,” said Chris V. Rey, J.D., International President of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
“Their professional achievements and community service engagement make them perfect candidates for Honorary Membership.”
