"It takes a few
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 Although it is slightly outdated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, its 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 - 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. It took a special breed of men to go against the grain and to 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 and as we seek to further the
growth of Iota, we are looking for Men who have this same boldness and
strength of conviction.
