With the force, vigor, power, and energy of its more than 85,000 dedicated men united in more than 600 chapters across the United States Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated continues to faithfully perpetuate composite growth and progress as the "people's fraternity" dedicated to providing services to all humanity.
�The founders deeply wished to create a fraternity 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 on his own merits rather than his family background or affluence... without regard to race, nationality, color, skin tone, or color of hair. They wished and wanted their fraternity to exist as a part of an even greater brotherhood-sisterhood which would be devoted to the "inclusive we" rather than the "exclusive we."
Today, three quarters of a century 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, Inc., the Phi Beta Sigma National Housing Foundation, and the Phi Beta Sigma Federal Credit Union.
