Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Delta Theta Sigma Chapter, Cincinnati Ohio    About Us Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. was founded at Howard University in Washington D.C. on January 9th in the "Year of the Light" 1914 by three Noble Young Men: the Most Honorable Brothers A. Langston Taylor, Leonard F. Morse and Charles I. Brown. The founders deeply wished to organize a Greek-letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the high ideals of Brotherhood, Scholarship and Service. They believed that each potential member should be judged on his own merits rather than his family affluence, without regard of race, nationality, color, skin tone or texture of hair. They wished and wanted their fraternity to exist as a part of an even 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 entirely for themselves and their immediate families, the founders of Phi Beta Sigma held the deep conviction that they should return their newly acquired talents to the communities from which they had come. This deep conviction is mirrored in the fraternity motto, "Culture for Service, Service for Humanity." Today, more than 98 years later, Phi Beta Sigma has blossomed into an international organization of leaders. No longer are we a single entity, the fraternity has now established the Phi Beta Sigma Educational Foundation, Inc. and the Phi Beta Sigma Federal Credit Union to build financial equity within our target communities. With the force, vigor, power and energy of it's more than 164,000 dedicated men united in more than 700 chapters across the United States, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean, Phi Beta Sigma continues to faithfully perpetuate composite growth and progress as the "people's fraternity" dedicated to providing services to ALL humanity.
