Membership Requirements

Thank you for your interest in Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. In this section, you will find information on the qualifications to become a member of our great Fraternity.

The Founders envisioned an organization built by members who believe in giving service to the community, integrity, and maintaining strong principles.  With brotherhood, scholarship, and service as its core values, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity has impacted the local communities in which we live as well as the global community.
