Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. was founded on the campus of Howard university on January 9, 1914 by Honorable Brothers A. Langston Taylor, Leonard F. Morse and Charles I. Brown.

It was through the fervent vision of Sigma Brothers Charles R. Taylor and A. Langston Taylor, along with Arizona Cleaver that Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was born.  For almost a century, these two organizations have served and flourished from a sibling-hood that is literally unlike any other found in black greek-letter organizations.

Edward Morefield (1st chapter President), Bro. Mark Jones, Bro. William Covington, Bro. Monte McDowell, Bro. Jamal Nelson, Bro. J.C. Gardner, Bro. Floyd Palmer, Bro. Nathalaan Jones, and Bro.
