Most Honorable Founder A. Langston Taylor

MHF A. Langston Taylor was a tall, lanky lad from Memphis, TN; easy going but tireless. His eyes were set deep in a brown skin face that showed a squared chin and prominent ears. His speech was pleasant; his oratory stirring. One flame among the three. More than any other, he is responsible for the growth of the Fraternity - especially in the earlier years. He has been National President, Secretary, Treasurer, Field Secretary, and President of the Distinguished Service Chapter. MHF Taylor was an Elk and a 33rd degree F&AM PHA. His triumphant life came to an end August 8, 1953.








Most Honorable Founder Leonard F. Morse

MHF Leonard F. Morse was handsome, shy, thin and dark. He was very much the New Englander from New Bedford Mass. He was the first elected Alpha chapter President; holder of Sigma's Distinguished Service Key. MHF Morse was also the first male student at Howard University to earn two degrees in three years. He also earned three Bachelor degrees, one master Degree and two Doctorate Degrees before his Death. MHF Brown was the President of both Edward Waters College, and Dean of both Payne University and Bethel Colleges. He later became the Florida State Dir., and personally organized nine chapters within that state.


Most Honorable Founder Charles I. Brown

MHF Charles I. Brown was physically a little smaller than average; his cheek bones were high, his "cowlicks" deep. Socially, he was know to be a "perfect gentleman." This is to say that he had that courtesy that is commonly associated with the Eighteenth Century ideal type; never hurried, never flustered, reticent and affable. He was the third member of the "Great Three," who founded Phi Beta Sigma. MHF Brown entered Howard University in 1907 and graduated in 1914. After Graduating, he taught English for public schools in Topeka, KS. MHF Brown is noted for founding the Delta Chapter @ Kansas State University, the first chapter in Sigma History to be chartered on a racially mixed university campus.
