List of Phi Beta Sigma members

The list of Phi Beta Sigma (ΦΒΣ) brothers (commonly referred to as Sigmas) includes initiated and honorary members. Members traditionally are initiated into a chapter, although some members are granted honorary membership status. A chapter name ending in "Sigma" denotes a graduate chapter. No chapter of Phi Beta Sigma is designated Omega, the last letter of the Greek alphabet that traditionally signifies "the end"; deceased brothers are referred to as having joined The Omega Chapter.

The fraternity has been led by 33 international presidents. Its membership includes four African presidents; two governors; three congressmen; the first black Rhodes Scholar; numerous NFL football, NBA basketball, and MLB baseball players; an ultimate fighter; five Hall of Fame athletes; ten college and university presidents; and sixteen Olympians. Various buildings and schools have been named after Sigma men such as George Washington Carver, James Weldon Johnson, and Robert Russa Moton.

Listed below are notable Phi Beta Sigma men such as the founders, international presidents, and members who are involved in the fields of arts and entertainment, business, civil rights, education, health, law, politics, science, and sports.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

Founders

Phi Beta Sigma founders: A. Langston Taylor, (first row, center), Leonard F. Morse (first row; third from right) and Charles I. Brown (first row; third from left) with charter members of Phi Beta Sigma; Alpha Chapter in 1914

A. Langston Taylor, Esq. (January 29, 1890 - August 8, 1953) was the first international president of Phi Beta Sigma. Taylor coined "Culture for Service, Service for Humanity". He began serving humanity by founding Sigma, to which he gave twelve consecutive years of service as a national officer, serving as national president, national treasurer, national secretary and field secretary. He also served as president of the Distinguished Service Chapter.

Dr. Leonard F. Morse (January 12, 1891 – May 22, 1961), co-founder of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, was a student of the Greek language, and he named the fraternity. In addition, he wrote Sigma's first constitution and was the first president of Alpha Chapter. He was the first person to graduate from Howard University in 3 years with two degrees (A.B and a B.Ed. degree).

Charles I. Brown (August 27, 1890 – December 21, 1981), co-founder of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity; first vice-president of Phi Beta Sigma. He is credited with choosing the nine charter members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Founder Brown founded the Delta Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, on April 9, 1917, and was a teacher at the Kansas Industrial School for Negroes in Topeka, Kansas.
