5 Things I love about IOTA!!!
 

i love IOTA, too!
 

I know I am not an IOTA, but I am crazy about the frat nonetheless and gotta give credit where it is due:

1: wherever i have met an IOTA man, he has ALWAYS shown me love up front, period.

2. the motto is BEAUTIFUL.

3. like Sigma women, the men of IOTA are truly DIVERSE-- they don't fit into any mold or stereotype and i admire the fact that the frat attracts different types of types.

4. just as I would say of my soRHOrs, it takes EVEN MORE HEART to rep for IOTA PHI THETA because you are building a tradition and not resting upon one... IOTA men rise to the occasion beautifully. i love that about you guys.

5. the centaur walk. i fall in love with the black man all over again after witnessing the centaur walk.

(i tell you, i swear i was a HEART in my past life...)

"building a tradition, not resting upon one"
"it takes a man"
the bruhs who made me
the bruhs who are my family
the bruhs who show me love anywhere i go


alot more, but i'm tired

Re: i love IOTA, too!
 

UMM UMM UMM...See, that is why I get goo goo gah gah for SGRhos. Thank you, very much.
My frat brothers, sweetheart sisters and I are honored that you feel that way about us.
(psst....I think you might have been a Heart in your past life...):) Thanks. I GOT MADE LUV FOR YOU TOO....

I love MY I-O-T-A because we keep on steppin and movin up!

My top 5 reasons:

1. Them colors.... need i say more?

2. That Centaur walk...yea thats another thread in itself

3. The owtlaw in every bruh i meet from coast to coast

4. The fact that you can never sleep on an Iota... you can never tell when a bruh is in your company

5. The fact that I am the me before, during, and after but with improvements along the journey!

Oh yeah, LadyGreek....You definitely get some IOTA BROWNIE POINTS for that.
:)

Thank you ladygreek! That was really kind and it means a lot coming from you. :D

I can't claim ownership over it (it was a phrase that was coined long before I became a brother) so as long as you give I-Phi the credit, it's cool. ;)

i know i had to be #1

<== Ace club Theta Man

:cool:

In that case, I should have been number #4 (Quads do it BETTER), lol.

I'll take #2 though on the list. Thanks again ladygreek!

:cool:

I need to be 5... although imma 12, I'm still that Anch Club!
Thank you just the same ladygreek!

Why I love Iota ...
 

* I love the fact that it is impossible to stereotype Iota Men. Like the petals of our official flower, the Yellow Rose, each Brother is different but his uniqueness adds to the beauty of the whole.

* I love the fact that our Founders were (and remain!) bold, iconoclastic individuals who refused to accept failure as an option.

* I love the way my Hymn sounds when it is sung. I defy anyone to attend our Conclave public meeting and not be moved by the power of hundreds of Iota voices in harmony, singing the phrase "We pledge from whence we came, to always be IOTA MEN, and glory in thy name."

* I love the fact that Iota always adds an "X-Factor" to any situation we are in. Like the Hot Sauce on your Grandmomma's greens, we add that Extra Flavor that makes it all complete. Everytime sombody shakes their head and mutters, "Humpf. Must be them Damn Iotas" I smile to myself.

*I love the fact that every time I look at my Shield, I am reminded of the type of Man I made a solemn promise be and the type of life I made a solemn promise to live. Until the day I die.

Why I Love IOTA
 

1.) I love my brotherhood

2.) The Hon. Founders

3.) The motto

4.) The Shield

5.) The continuous growth of the Fraternity

I KNOW I'M A LITTLE LATE BUT.....
 

HERE ARE FIVE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY FRAT

1. NO MATTER WHERE I GO, IF I RUN INTO A BRUH THEY SHOW MAD LUV.
2. TEN FOUNDERS ALIVE AND WELL TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH US.
3. THE CENTAUR WALK (NEED I SAY MORE?).
4. WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING, CAUSE WE KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN.
5. I PHI IS JUST DO DOG GONE FINE. LOL.

5 Things I love about IPHIT!!!
 

1. Iotas set the pace.
2. An Iota does not follow the road, he builds it.
3. "Born in a time of struggle"
4. No matter where I go, an Iota is an Iota
5. You can't classify, label, or sterotype an Iota.

What more can I say!!!!!

WHY I LOVE IOTA
 

(1) The fact that I am the face of THE FRATERNITY in the SOUTH and because I DID NOT and DO NOT HAVE TO PLEDGE OR FIT INTO ANY FRATERNAL MOLDING/STEREOTYPE!

(2) The fact that IOTA PHI THETA FRATERNITY, INC. is not an easy FRAT to pledge. (HINT:If it was THEN everyone would be joing). Also, because it is not easy wearing thIS BROWN and THIS GOLD.

(3) THE MENTAL PLEDGE PROCESS/RITES OF PASSAGE EXPERIENCE THAT HUMBLES YOU AND PREPARES YOU FOR THE HOSTILE ENVIORNMENT THAT AN IOTA MUST FACE AND ENDURE AS HE OFTEN TIMES FIND HIMSELF BEING RIDICULED AND BEING THE TARGET OF A LOT OF IGNORANCE, POLICIES, RULES, PROCEDURES AND MANY OTHER IMPEDING OBSTACLES THAT WE TRIUPH DAILY AND OVERCOME TO CONTINUE TO GROW THE FRAT.

(4) THE CENTAUR WALK.....(SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AND DOES NOT NEED AN ELABORATE EXPLANATION)

(5) THE COLORS, GENUINE BROTHERHOOD, HISTORY ASSOCIATED WITH ITS FOUNDING, THE FACT THAT 10 OF MY 12 HONORABLE FOUNDING FATHERS ARE STILL LIVING, AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW, IOTA PHI THETA IS THE ONLY BLACK FRAT WHEREAS ALL 12 OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PARTICIPATED IN THE HEART OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. WE WERE THE ONLY FRAT TO ACTIVELY PARTICIAPATE ON A LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL LEVEL IN ENGAGING THE OPRESSED SYSTEMS THAT WORKED AGAINST BLACKS. (WHILE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS RELIED HEAVILY ON INDIVIDUALS TO PROMULGATE THEIR RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS, IOTA PHI THETA WAS DIFFERENT IN THE FACT THAT OUR NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP WERE ON THE FRONT LINES MAKING A LIVING IN THE TRENCHES).

BONUS: WE ARE UNIQUE AND THERE IS NO OTHER BLACK FRAT THAT CAN BOAST OF SUCH VIBRANCY AND CREATIVITY OF I PHI T. BY THE WAY, THE OUTLAW AND MILITANCY PHILOSOPHY THAT IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE FRAT'S FOUNDING.

WHY I LOVE IOTA
 

THE IOTA SHIELD.......LOOK AT MINE AND COMPARE IT WITH ALL OF THE REST OF THE NPHC COAT OF ARMS AND YOU WILL QUICKLY DISCOVER THAT THERE IS NO COMPARISON.

LOVE I-PHI
 

1. Although I pledged in 1994, I feel the same as I did as then
2. The substance of our history
3. the Hearts
4. Cause my cousins a Delta, and she still cant figure our why we are OUTLAWS.
5. We are a true BROTHERHOOD

Lets see...5 things I love about Iota...hmmm

1) My husband, my husband, my husband!!!!!
2) I love the slogan "Building a tradition, not resting upon one". That speaks volumes.
3) The Centaur Walk
4) Most Iota men that I have met are nice and sincere and always show love.
5) The founders of Iota were unique in their reasoning for wanting to start a fraternity. That uniqueness lives in Iota today. Iota is definitely one of a kind (and that is a wonderful thing).

(Did I say my husband?:) ;))

Hearts joined the end of the line and strolled with the brothers. Who else does that?:cool:

1. They encompass so many different things, there is no stereotype

4. The colors
5. They are real people

1. diversity, diversity, diversity!!!! enough said...
2. "Building a tradition, and not resting upon one." I pledged just for that!

1) Iota helps to strengthen leadership qualities in both the brothers and the sweethearts

2) We may talk about each other behind our back, but we'll cause a ruckus if we here someone else talking about each other

3) I love the fact that our founders are still alive and even as a sweetheart Ive had some valuable conversations with some of our founders that made a huge different in my life as a heart

4) I love the fact that we are making history and every year that goes by I see us continuing to build traditions within our organization

5) I love brown and gold :)

MUCH LOVE TO ALL MY BROWN AND GOLD BRUHS :)
