Johnson C. Smith Becomes First HBCU to Admit a Latino Fraternity

[WhiteRose1912]

Phi Iota Alpha did not have any active undergraduate chapters from 1979-1983. In 1975, when Lambda Theta Phi was founded, Phi Iota Alpha only had one active chapter (at LSU). It's understandable that the founders of Lambda Theta Phi wouldn't know about the near-dead organization, but their claims of being the first (and also the only one in 1975) are false.
