Pi Zeta Sigma History

On January 9, 2014, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. chartered the Pi Zeta Sigma Alumni Chapter, which holds the distinction of being the inaugural and sole alumni chapter in Anne Arundel County, Maryland—home to the state capital, Annapolis.

Founded by eight visionary Brothers—James Bradley, Quinton Brasfield, Qusim Challenger, Kenneth Daniel, Luby Harvey, Jermaine Jones, Rickey Parks, and Pedro Perry—Pi Zeta Sigma was established to bring the principles of Phi Beta Sigma to a previously unserved region. The chapter’s charter was certified by then-International President Brother Jonathan Mason, making it the first Phi Beta Sigma alumni chapter chartered during the fraternity’s centennial year.

Our Service Footprint

Since its inception, Pi Zeta Sigma has consistently upheld the fraternity’s motto, “Culture for Service, Service for Humanity,” through dynamic and hands-on engagement across Anne Arundel County. Our chapter has proudly organized and participated in:

  • Annual Back-to-School Backpack Drives

  • Teacher Appreciation Programs at our adopted school

  • Breast Cancer and HIV/AIDS Awareness Walks

  • The signature Skate for Babies event

Continued Excellence

Pi Zeta Sigma remains steadfast in its commitment to the principles of Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service. The chapter actively participates within the broader fraternity, attending state and regional conferences, as well as, the international Conclave.

As our organization continues to expand, our mission remains resolute: to serve Anne Arundel County with integrity, purpose, and an unwavering dedication to elevating our community through meaningful actions.
