Wednesday, March 18, 2026 7:14 PM
With great excitement, the Georgia Executive Board proudly announce Jekyll Island, Georgia, as the host site for the 2026 Georgia Joint State Conference of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.. The gathering will take place at the Jekyll Island Conference Center, a venue surrounded by the rich heritage of Historic Brunswick and Glynn County—a setting that reflects the fraternity’s enduring legacy of service, scholarship, and brotherhood.
This year’s conference theme, “The Isle of Georgia: Where Hidden Histories Shape Visible Victories,” celebrates the resilience, perseverance, and transformation embedded in Georgia’s coastal history. Like the island itself, the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma continue to turn unseen struggles into visible progress that uplifts communities across the state.
