Many Fraternities supported the
Million Man March (MMM), but only Phi Beta Sigma can lay claim to not only supporting, but also sponsoring
the Million Man March in it's International Headquarters. Much Love to Bro. Chavis Mohammad (Benjamin Chavis) who was
a major contributor in organizing the March.
Finally, Sigma continues to be
on the forefront of issues that affect and support the African-American community by being the first to designate "African-American
Sons Day At The Office", which is now NPHC-wide supported and endorsed.
