Sigma Creed
I believe in the principles of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and my loyalty to these transcends all personal responsibility. I believe that I should be a credit to the organization, and that I should at all times safeguard its reputation with the best in conduct. I believe in the unity of purpose as expressed in the motto – Culture for Service and Service for Humanity. These things constitute the true test of a PHI BETA SIGMA MAN.
Crescent Chant
O Sigma, dear, thou hast for years led brave men strong and free; To thee we raise our hearts in song; We pledge our loyalty. The cause is just, we’ll follow still with courage ever new; Our souls fresh, thy manor fill with manhood pure and true. To serve thee e’er in joy or pain, In sorrow or in strife, We’ll still proclaim, in loud refrain, “Phi Beta is the life.”

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
