Welcome to the website of the Eta Psi Sigma “Capitol City” Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated.  On this site, you will discover more information about our Great Fraternity, our Impressive Graduate Chapter, and our Professional Membership.  We trust that it will be enlightening and informative.

Three African American male students founded Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. at Howard University in Washington, D.C., on January 9, 1914.  These founders were, Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, who wanted to organize a Greek-letter fraternity that viewed itself as one with a greater brotherhood devoted to the "inclusive we" rather than the "exclusive we."

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, the founders of Phi Beta Sigma held a deep conviction that they should return their newly acquired skills to the communities from which they had come.
