WELCOME To the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Home Page for the State of New York. This state site is the first site of its kind to be launched by any state in the Eastern Region of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.  Its goal is to serve as a vehicle of information for Sigma brothers and chapters in New York State, as well as other individuals who may be interested in learning more about the brotherhood of Phi Beta Sigma.   We invite you to explore the site to discover Sigma's  legacy in New York State, links to other Sigma chapters on the web, our state programs and much more. Our current State Director Brother Curtis Alan Banks will be providing periodic updates in the "State Director's Message"  as well in other parts of the web site for brothers who are looking for answers to current issues or trends within the fraternity. This site was designed under the leadership of Former New York State Director Brother Leonard P. Rice Jr.  in 1999. Please email you suggestions to state officials; let us know your concerns and what you think about the site, relevant issues and happenings with your chapter at nystpbs@yahoo.com. Thank you for taking the time to visit. We invite you to sign the guestbook before continuing your statewide walk through the portals of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.
