Happy Founders’ Day! A Gallery Of Sigma Men…
Happy Founders’ Day!
You know we needed to have fun the tremendous cool brothers of Phi Beta Sigma celebrating 111 years of tradition for service and repair 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 prepare a Greek letter fraternity that might exemplify the beliefs of brotherhood, scholarship, and repair.
To accomplish this, the Founders created an group that considered itself as ‘a half of’ the final neighborhood fairly than ‘aside from’ the final neighborhood 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 help from their sister group Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
Notable members embody Bootsy Collins, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Richard Sherman, Terrence Howard, Braylon Edwards, 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, and Blair Underwood who lately dropped a large reveal on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
“Let me tell you something—for me, that was the role that got away,” revealed Underwood, 60, about nearly starring reverse Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls. “Jamie Foxx’s character, the one she was in love with. I wanted so badly to do that movie.”
How are you celebrating the Sigmas at present? Would you might have needed to see Blair in Dreamgirls or was Jamie good? Tell us down beneath and revel in our gallery of Sigma baes on the flip.
