For Phi Beta Sigma, it would mirror what Sen said about Alpha Phi Alpha, between 1950-1969 Civil Rights Movement.
Considering that the roots of our organization immediately went south after founding, to be a member was seen as a badge of honor and that you were serious in promoting the ideas and tenets of the Civil Rights Movement. You can still see the remnants of it today if you tour the south (and I'm not talking the large metros like Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston, that is a given I'm talking even the small towns), though I don't believe it is as deserved now as it was then.
