Beta Sigma Kappa Afro-Latino Fraternity Incorporated (Beta’s, BSK) was established on March 16th, 1998. It was founded at The University at Buffalo in Buffalo, New York on the basis of establishing a Fraternity that unified Afro and Latino peoples on the principles of Brotherhood, Strength and Knowledge. Beta Sigma Kappa’s primary objective is to help men strengthen their professional and leadership skills so that they may become a positive influence within their community. From its inception it has strived to unify Afro and Latino peoples who have common history, experiences, and struggles as well as promote the rich history of each culture.

Mission Statement The purpose of Beta Sigma Kappa Fraternity, Incorporated is to help men strengthen their professional and leadership skills in order to be a positive influence within underserved communities. This is done by studying the links between African and Latino communities, identifying the challenges faced, and sharing this knowledge within the community. History In 1997, several men came together and decided to join an fraternal organization at the University at Buffalo, these men could not find an organization that represented them or their goals. Therefore, they decided to establish an organization that would represent African and Latino men.

Although, these men decided to form this organization. A few individuals realized it would not be possible. However, there was a smaller group among them who believed that a fraternal organization still needed to be established. The organization would represent this smaller group and their goals.

After a period of intensive research and education, these men decided to form Beta Sigma Kappa Fraternity. This fraternity would serve as a "Brotherhood of Strength and Knowledge". Therefore, individuals would be assisted by the fraternity in education and strengthening themselves.

The Founding fathers began the process of establishing Beta Sigma Kappa Fraternity, Incorporated at the University at Buffalo during the Spring of 1998. Although, there were numerous obstacles in their path, these men never lost sight of their goal.

On March 16, 1998 the Brotherhood of Beta Sigma Kappa Fraternity Incorporated was officially established at the University at Buffalo.
