Thank you for your interest in Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Sigma Men are born leaders, representing a wide variety of career paths in today’s society. Who are we? We are bold, intentional, and courageous… We are “A Brotherhood of Conscious Men Actively Serving Our Communities”. We are an assembly of men with shared values where you can be yourself and belong to something bigger! Our 185,000 Brothers in more than 600 chapters across the world cannot wait to welcome you to our wondrous band! Below you will find information on the qualifications to become a member of our great

Fraternity. After you read through the information within this section, please contact us (hyperlink here) so that a member of our Fraternity can get in touch with you to discuss your interests further. Being a man of Sigma is a lifetime experience, it requires an investment of time, talent, as well as a financial commitment.

Membership Has Its Privileges

Membership in Phi Beta Sigma has its privileges! The Founders envisioned an organization built on principles, integrity, and most of all service. Through brotherhood, scholarship and service Phi Beta Sigma has impacted not only the local communities that we live in but also the world as a whole. Phi Beta Sigma has become a training ground for world, business, and community leaders. Our success is based on the depth of commitment, vision, and confidence of our members.

We therefore seek men who will promote and extend the policies and programs of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. The Fraternity, in return, is a massive network through which individuals can grow and develop personally and professionally.
