We will continue to update brothers on whether certain men are members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Please see my previous post on this subject.
Morgan Freeman – Not a Sigma!
Recently, Bro. Mallet Pacich did a little research to determine whether actor Morgan Freeman was a member of our fraternity. Here is the response he received back from Mr. Freeman’s publicist:
About a week ago, I contacted Morgan Freeman’s publicist to see if they could verify whether or not Mr. Freeman was a member of our Fraternity.
Please read her response below….
Wow, Mark! I’m Mr. Freeman’s publicist (I also run his nonprofit below) and I’m a former Miss Phi Beta Sigma – my father was a Sigma; but Morgan, who is also a family member, is not. I’m sure you know that Blair Underwood and others in Hollywood are Sigmas, but I’m sorry to report that Morgan isn’t as lucky.
Best of luck to you,
Donna Lee
Well Brothers…another book is closed.
Hill Harper – Not a Sigma!
Mr. Harper recently was initiated in Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.
James Farmer – Not a Sigma!
Mr. Farmer was the founder of CORE, but he is a member of Omega Psi Phi. I believe brothers confuse him with Bro. James Foreman, another Civil Rights Leader. Mr. Farmer is also featured in the Denzel Washington movie “The Debaters.??? He is the youngest member of the debate team.
Jason Motes – Not a Sigma!
Mr. Motes is identified as a professional surfer and I was able to call and talk to him about his greek affiliation. He personally told me that he is not a member of any fraternity. I think the confusion here is that we do have a Bro. Jason Motes, who pledged at the University of Depauw, but is not a surfer!
Please note the Morris Chestnut is Not a member of Phi beta Sigma as I heard him personally say this on a recent radio interview. That interview is posted on Youtube. He said his roommate in college was a Sigma and tried to get him to pledge and though he went to a Smoker but never pledged. He also stated that his being a Sigma blew up all over the internet. I do not understand how he knows this yet his publicist continues to allow “is a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity” to be posted on most if not all of his bios. This needs to be deleted from his bio.
