Welcome to Gamma Zeta Sigma Chapter
Phi Beta Sigma's History
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. 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.
The founders deeply wished to create an organization that
viewed itself as "a part of" the general community rather
than "apart from" the general community. They believed that
each potential member should be judged by his own merits
rather than his family background or affluence...without
regard of race, nationality, skin tone or texture of hair.
They wished and wanted their fraternity to exist as part
of even a greater brotherhood which would be devoted to
the "inclusive we" rather than the "exclusive we".
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 deep conviction that
they should return their newly acquired skills to the
communities from which they had come. This deep c
onviction was mirrored in the Fraternity's motto,
"Culture For Service and Service For Humanity".
Today, over 90 years later, Phi Beta Sigma has blossomed into
an international organization of leaders. No longer a
single entity, the Fraternity has now established the
Phi Beta Sigma Educational Foundation, the Phi Beta Sigma
Housing Foundation, the Phi Beta Sigma Federal Credit
Union, and the Phi Beta Sigma Charitable Outreach
Foundation. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., founded in
1920 with the assistance of Phi Beta Sigma, is the sister
organization. No other fraternity and sorority is
constitutionally bound as Sigma and Zeta. We both enjoy
and foster a mutually supportive relationship.
