The Heritage and Legacy
The establishment of Phi Beta Sigma on the campus of Howard University marked a pivotal moment in collegiate history. Unlike other organizations of the era, the founders insisted on an inclusive approach, ensuring the fraternity remained a part of the university fabric rather than an isolated entity. This commitment to integration and service propelled the fraternity to expand rapidly, eventually joining the National Pan-Hellenic Council in 1930. The inclusion of the year 1914 on the temple arms honors the exact moment these three founders initiated a movement that now spans hundreds of collegiate and alumni chapters worldwide.
The design incorporates the royal blue and pure white colors synonymous with the fraternity’s identity. The gold-tone emblem features the dove, a primary symbol of the organization, representing peace and the high ideals held by its members. These sunglasses utilize intricate metalwork to house the crest, ensuring the iconography remains visible while maintaining a professional aesthetic suitable for both formal events and daily wear.
Care and Longevity Guide
To preserve the gold-tone finish and the integrity of the enamel emblems, wipe the frames with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth after each use. Avoid contact with saltwater, chlorine, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these substances can degrade the protective coating on the metal alloy. Store the glasses inside the provided velvet-lined case when not in use to prevent surface scratches on the lenses.
The temples feature a weighted balance designed for consistent comfort during extended wear. The hinge mechanisms are reinforced to withstand daily handling, while the nose pads are adjustable to fit various facial structures. Keep the hardware dry to maintain the luster of the gold plating and ensure the emblems remain securely fastened to the frame arms.
Are these sunglasses suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the frame geometry and sizing are designed as a unisex fit to accommodate a wide range of face shapes.
Does the emblem feature the official Phi Beta Sigma crest?

What level of UV protection do the lenses provide?
The lenses are rated UV400, providing protection against 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB rays.
Is a protective case included with the purchase?
