💙🤍🕊️Repost from @officialzeta1920 • At a time in our history when many African Americans were migrating from the rural south to more industrious cities to gain access to education and better jobs amid racial discrimination and turmoil, three visionary student leaders wanted to make a difference and create a true impact. These collegiate men founded Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. on January 9, 1914, on the campus of Howard University with the distinct mission to pursue scholastic excellence and provide direct service to the community. @pbs_1914 set a new standard and culture of inclusion for Greek-letter organizations. This trailblazing brotherhood was the first organization to establish alumni chapters, youth mentoring clubs, collegiate chapters outside the U.S., and the only organization to have a distinct hand in the founding of a sorority, which they took further by making the partnership a legal entity and created a joint constitution between the two organizations. Your collective pact with our beloved sisterhood, the first and only of its kind among the @nphchq infrastructure, is a powerful example and continues to exemplify what’s possible through collaboration and unity. Today, with over 225,00 brothers in over 700 chapters across 4 continents, Phi Beta Sigma continues to be an essential part of communities around the globe, and you continue to build on the hope and legacy of your founders. They are proud of your hard work, dedication, and deep commitment to serving and transforming lives. Happy Founders’ Day to our brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. We celebrate and congratulate you today on 109 years of Culture for Service and Service for Humanity! #zetaphibeta #zphib #zphib1920 #pbs109 #pbs1914 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnMscEqO8MI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
