Our Mission & Vision<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

The Founders deeply wished to create an organization that viewed itself as \u201ca part of\u201d the general community rather than \u201capart from\u201d the general community. They believed that each potential member should be judged by his own merits, rather than his family background or affluence\u2026without regard to race, nationality, skin tone or texture of hair. They desired for their fraternity to exist as part of an even greater brotherhood which would be devoted to the \u201cinclusive we\u201d rather than the \u201cexclusive we\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

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, they held a deep conviction that they should return their newly acquired skills to the communities from which they had come. This deep conviction was mirrored in the Fraternity\u2019s motto, \u201cCulture For Service and Service For Humanity\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, Phi Beta Sigma has blossomed into an international organization of leaders. No longer a single entity, members of the Fraternity have been instrumental in the establishment of the Phi Beta Sigma National Foundation, the Phi Beta Sigma Federal Credit Union and The Sigma Beta Club Foundation. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, founded in 1920 with the assistance of Phi Beta Sigma, is the sister organization of the Fraternity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
