Interested in Iota Phi Theta?
"It only 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 Although it is slightly outdated, as Iota Phi Theta has moved away from “pledging” to a “Brotherhood Intake Process”, the spirit is still the same.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 – academically, professionally, and personally. Furthermore, you are committing to consistently strive to be the best despite any obstacles.
