Sigmas of Columbia

President’s Vision – Beta Chi Sigma Chapter, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.

As President of the Beta Chi Sigma Chapter, my vision is rooted in purpose, pride, and progress. I see our chapter as not just as a fraternity—but as a force for transformation in Columbia, SC. We are brothers bound by a commitment to uplift one another and serve with intention. My goal is to cultivate a culture of unity, where accountability is embraced and support is lifelong. Brotherhood isn’t just a word—it’s how we show up for each other, day in and day out.

I envision a chapter where scholarship is more than academic—it’s personal growth, leadership development, and the pursuit of excellence. We will mentor, guide, and empower individuals to become changemakers in their communities. Service is our heartbeat. Whether we’re welcoming students back at our Adopt-A-School, mentoring young men through the Sigma Beta Club, or raising scholarship funds at our Crab Crack—we are present, engaged, and relentless in our mission to create opportunity.

Grounded in the values of Phi Beta Sigma, I am committed to leading a chapter that strengthens neighborhoods, uplifts the underserved, and inspires future generations to dream bigger and reach higher. This is more than a vision—it’s a promise.

We are the Columbia Sigmas. And the work never stops.

Beta Chi Sigma Alumni Chapter

The Beta Chi Sigma chapter is more than a fraternity chapter—it is a movement dedicated to empowering communities, uplifting our youth, and living out the high ideals of Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service.

Our cause speeds on its way

Through signature programs such as the Sigma Beta Club youth mentorship, along with national programs like Bigger and Better Business, Education, and Social Action, Beta Chi Sigma continues to have a profound impact on the Columbia community. With a dedicated membership of more than 60 active brothers, the chapter remains committed to strengthening education, promoting civic responsibility, and advancing the legacy of Phi Beta Sigma in South Carolina and beyond.

Making an impact in Columbia, SC for over 75 years

By living out the high ideals of Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service, we envision a Columbia where young men are guided by strong mentors, where education is championed, and where service is not an option but a way of life. This vision drives us to strengthen our partnerships with our collegiate brothers at Allen University, Benedict College, and the University of South Carolina, ensuring that our presence makes a lasting impact on generations to come.
