Why Care: 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. Today, Phi Beta Sigma has blossomed into an international organization that promotes its motto: “Culture For Service and Service For Humanity.” Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., an international organization comprised of more than150,000 college-educated men, focuses on issues that impact the youth and our communities through our three major programs: Bigger and Better Business, Education and Social Action.
