Black Boule

The Boule, which means “council of noblemen” and is the first Greek-letter fraternity for black men, was formed by two academic doctors, a dentist and a physician for professional, social and cultural enrichment and engagement.

In 1904, the first African -American Greek Secret Society was formed in Philadelphia, by Dr. Henry Minton and five of his colleagues. The Boule, (an acronym for Sigma Pi Phi) and pronounced “boo-lay”), was formed to bring together a select group of educated Black men and women. Fashioned after Yale’s Skull and Bones, the Boule historically takes pride in having provided leadership and service to Black Americans during the Great Depression, World Wars I and II, and the Civil Rights Movement.
