Which organization was the fourth NPHC/D9 fraternity founded?

• A. Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc.
• B. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.
• C. Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Inc.
• D. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.

Answer: (B)

The question taps into the timeline of the NPHC’s Divine Nine fraternities. Alpha Phi Alpha was founded first in 1906. In 1911, two fraternities were established, one earlier in the year and one later that year. Phi Beta Sigma came next, founded in 1914, which places it as the fourth fraternity in the founding order. So Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. is the correct answer. (Note: Alpha Kappa Alpha is a sorority, not a fraternity, so it doesn’t fit the “fraternity” part of the prompt.)
