During Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.'s Conclave in 2009, the delegation approved the induction of 42 men of ambition, refinement and self-respect whose leadership, scholarship, gallantry, achievement and distinguished service was deserving of the Fraternity's special recognition of Honorary Member.

This is Honorary Bro. President William "Bill" Jefferson Clinton's Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. honorary membership acceptance speech, which was broadcasted at the Conclave and Image Awards Banquet of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. in 2009 .
President Clinton's acceptance of honorary membership drew the most significant amount of publicity Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. has ever had in its rich history and marked the first time ever in history that a United States President accepted membership into a historically African-American fraternity.
Bro. Dr. Christian M. Gonzalez is responsible for recruiting Honorary Bro. William "Bill" Jefferson Clinton into Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
