The
Centaur
Besides the Fraternity Shield, the next most readily identifying symbol of Iota Phi Theta is The Centaur.
A Mythical beast with the head and torso of a man, and the body of a stallion, The Centaur is near and dear to all Men of Iota Phi Theta and its mythology, characteristics, and legacy are a binding force within the Brotherhood.
