TRUE BROTHERS FOR LIFE
A TRUE BROTHERHOOD... FOR LIFE
Serving Oakland, CA, and all of humanity
From its inception, the Founders also conceived Phi Beta Sigma as a mechanism to deliver services to the general community. Rather than gaining skills to be utilized exclusively for themselves and their immediate families, they held a deep conviction that they should return their newly acquired skills to the communities from which they had come. This deep conviction was mirrored in the Fraternity’s motto, “Culture For Service and Service For Humanity”.
The brothers of Phi Beta Sigma are the Fraternity’s most valuable resource and strength. They are the primary means by which the Phi Beta Sigma objectives will be achieved. In order to accomplish the Fraternity’s objectives, it is essential that systems are instituted that effectively embody “Culture For Service and Service For Humanity” and promote brotherhood, scholarship and service.

Message from the President
Here’s a stronger, more executive-level version that carries pride, legacy, and leadership while honoring the chapter’s history:
Greetings,
My name is Bro. Dr. Darrell Davis, and it is both an honor and a privilege to serve as the current President of the Alpha Nu Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
Alpha Nu Sigma is a proud and historic chapter, founded in Oakland, California, in 1947 by five visionary and dynamic Black men committed to leadership, brotherhood, scholarship, and service. The movement to establish Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. in the Bay Area was spearheaded by Bro. Andrew McCarter, whose vision, determination, and ingenuity helped lay the foundation for generations of Sigma men throughout Northern California.
Because of that legacy, the impact of Alpha Nu Sigma extends far beyond Oakland, reaching communities from Sacramento to Fresno and continuing to influence leaders across the region. Today, we proudly stand on the shoulders of those trailblazers as we continue the work of uplifting our communities, empowering future generations, and preserving the excellence and tradition that define Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
