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.
