BY On January 9, 1914, Phi Beta fraternity was founded at How- ard University through the leadership of three students desiring to establish a new fra- ternity. The purpose of this fra- ternity was to promote the ideals of brotherhood, service, and scholarship. On March 24, 1977, sixty- three years later, Beta Theta Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma fra- ternity was permanently estab- lished on UAM’s campus with eight charter members. Phi Beta Sigma fraternity is the only Greek organization that has a true sister-‘‘Zeta Phi Beta’. Phi Beta Sigma also has a special social club ‘‘The Sig- ma Sweets,’’ whose purpose is to aid the fraternity. Kneeling: Diane Lewis.
