In 1950 Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity became the first Greek organization to develop a youth auxiliary group.  Under the direction of Dr. Parlette L. Moore the Sigma Beta Club was founded.  Brother Moore was concerned about our changing needs in our communities and recognized the important role that Sigma men could play in the lives of our youth.   Marcus Williams, Jeremy Wilson, Alex Donovan, Michael Anderson, and three other young men that have passed on: William Anderson (1968), Tore' Lucas (1986), and John Lewis (1991) became charter members of the organization.

The Sigma Beta Clubs’ four major principles focus on Culture, Athletics, Social, and Educational needs.  The Sigma Beta Club offers our members a unique opportunity to develop values, leadership skills, and social/cultural awareness during their developmental years. Sigma Beta Club programs are geared to meet the needs of its members, but at the same time provide them with a well-rounded out look that is needed to cope with today's society.  Phi Beta Sigma is confident that investing in our youth today will produce effective leaders of tomorrow.

Now at Hillside High School, the Sigma Beta Club continues to maintain high academic standards and enrich their community  through various service projects.  The Sigma Beta Club has participated in multiple projects from the March of Dimes to volunteering at a local soup kitchen.  We continue to raise the bar and set the standard for other school organizations to be more active in their community.  The Sigma Beta Club will always be an inclusive club and as we grow in numbers, we pledge to affect our community more positively than the time before.

Our vow to uplift our community through service projects keeps us involved and rooted in the principles of the organization.  We strive to make our school, local, state, and national community better by participating in projects such as a campus beautification for our high school, tutoring to students at a local church, adopting a family for a holiday, or relief effort for disaster victims. We take pride in serving our community.
