The story of how the Beta Tau chapter of Phi Beta Sigma, Incorporated came to be is just as remarkable as it is complex. In 2003, Jeremy Battle, an ambitious and assiduous undergraduate transfer student from Georgia sought to introduce a much-needed change to campus life as well as the surrounding community. It would be this double-focus that would ultimately serve as the binding fabric for the presence of Phi Beta Sigma on the campus of Stanford University. On October 31, 2004, four promising young men – D. Jackson, J. Osial, M. Okwo, and J. Norris – entered the brotherhood of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated, making the first etchings on what would become an unforgettable legacy. These noble brothers were escorted into the mysteries of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. by Bro.’s Eli Deleston, Tyrone “TJ” Richardson, Jeremy Battle, James Sweeney and Kevin Lynch.

Facing challenges from the campus administration, Beta Tau chapter was finally recognized as a colony by Stanford University on May 4, 2006 due mainly to the effort of the founding four brothers and its second group of initiates; J. Johnson, K. Davis-Hammerquist, and W. VonHoene.
