Beta Omicron Sigma

The Beta Omicron Sigma Chapter was chartered on June 4, 1949 by five ingenious men: James W. Parrish, J.E. Payden, Fred Philpott, C. Edgar Sinkford, and Marion T. Frederick.

The chapter has seen members come and go over the years; however, our stability lies in our members’ love for true Brotherhood, committed Service, and uncompromising Scholarship. Our vision, “Providing outstanding community service and social programs that address issues that impact African-American men and boys in Columbus Ohio”, has kept our chapter on the cutting edge of community service over the years.

We believe whole-heartedly in our Fraternity motto: “Culture for Service and Service for Humanity”, and efforts to gauge the needs of African-American men and boys have driven some of our most successful programs.

As we continue to move forward, The Beta Omicron Sigma Chapter will continue the legacy of focusing on issues and efforts to gauge the needs of African-American men, and families in order to strengthen communities.  We are focused on the ideals on the high ideals set forth by our Honorable Founders of “Brotherhood, Scholarship and Service”.

Beta Omicron Sigma Chapter moving forward and serious about SERVICE.

A Sigma man embraces the memories of the past and looks forward to creating paths for the future.
