Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.
Description:
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students. The Founders, Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, wanted to organize a Greek letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service.
The Founders deeply wished to create an organization that viewed itself as “a part of” the general community rather than “apart from” the general community. They believed that each potential member should be judged by his own merits, rather than his family background or affluence…without regard to race, nationality, skin tone or texture of hair. They desired for their fraternity to exist as part of an even greater brotherhood which would be 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, 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”.
Today, Phi Beta Sigma has blossomed into an international organization of leaders. No longer a single entity, members of the Fraternity have been instrumental in the establishment of the Phi Beta Sigma National Foundation, the Phi Beta Sigma Federal Credit Union and The Sigma Beta Club Foundation. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, founded in 1920 with the assistance of Phi Beta Sigma, is the sister organization of the Fraternity.

"I grew up playing dominoes with my Cuban grandparents, so it holds a place in my heart that I want to share with others. I believe the game of dominoes brings people together over friendly competition and strategy, something that many students would have an interest in. A club like this makes sense to have at The University of Tampa with historic Ybor City nearby, which is rooted in Cuban influence. The club serves the purpose of connecting students to a piece of the historic culture of their surroundings. One of the goals of the UT Domino Club is to host an annual domino tournament that raises money for a collectively chosen charity or fundraiser; I envision there being live Cuban music from a local group and pastries and coffee and more. Another goal of the club is to perhaps set up tables and play dominoes in the historic district of Ybor like they used to do back in the days of my grandparents. These goals help to eventually accomplish the end-goal of leaving a lasting legacy at UT of community and culture all through the beautiful game of dominoes. I truly believe coming together over a pastime like dominoes really brings you closer to those around you just like it has done in my personal life and that is what I hope to achieve with my Spartan family."
