“It takes weeks to pledge, but
it takes a LIFETIME to be a Brother”
That phrase is heard time and time again within the Brotherhood
of Iota Phi Theta and it is one of our rallying points. Although
it is slightly outdated by the fact that Iota Phi Theta has
moved away from "pledging" to a "Brotherhood Intake Process",
the spirit is still the same. Quite simply, the process you
undergo before becoming a Brother is secondary to the
responsibility you accept once you become a Brother.
Iota Phi Theta is more than a Fraternity; it is a concept ... a
way of life. By joining Iota Phi Theta, you are agreeing to
always strive for excellence in ALL facets of your life –
spiritually, academically, professionally, and personally.
Furthermore, you are committing to consistently strive to be the
best despite any and ALL obstacles.
This concept has its roots in the Founding of the organization.
When Iota Phi Theta was founded, there were already a number of
fraternities in existence. Our Founders chose to strike out in a
bold new direction and this was not easy, by no means. It took a
special breed of men to go against the grain and stand tall for
what they believed. They were sustained by the strength of their
convictions and the soundness of the Concept of Iota.
Today Iota is growing by leaps and bounds exponentially and as
we seek to further the growth of Iota, we are looking for Men
who have this same boldness and strength of conviction to remain
steadfast to sound morals and principles and stand for what they
believe.
Since its founding, Iota Phi Theta has demonstrated a growth
rate unmatched by any Black Greek Organization before or since.
Time and time again, we have seen that there are men who are
seeking an organization with the vibrancy and creativity that
are unique to Iota Phi Theta. We are actively seeking men who
are interested in helping us to "Build a Tradition" and who are
unwilling to settle for "Resting Upon One."
To begin the process of becoming a member of Iota Phi Theta or
