From the beginning of its existence,
Iota Phi Theta has sought to "Make a Difference." One of the very
first activities of the newly-formed Iota was participation in the
protests at the segregated Northwoods Shopping Center in Baltimore,
Maryland. The founders of the Fraternity considered themselves "Militant" at
a time when militancy was not
an entirely popular stance.
This commitment to service has been a constant thread
throughout the history of Iota Phi Theta. In the late 1960's and
early 1970's, Iota was a strong supporter of the "Big Brothers
of America" program. In fact, in 1974, then Grand Polaris,
Thomas Dean appeared in a local television commercial on behalf
of Big Brothers of America.
The commitment to service has continued and is manifested
in the activities of local
chapters of the Fraternity. Members of the Eastern Region perform
community service not for props
but for pride in their fraternity
and in the investment they
make for the future of their
communities.
"A fraternity with the capacity to restrain
the
over-aggressive, encourage
the faint hearted, sustain
the timid, refute the disagreeable.
We teach the ignorant, goad
the lazy, aid the less fortunate
and fight for the oppressed! "
- John Slade (founder)

As Iota has grown, it has endeavored to maintain a standard of excellence and
leadership on campus and in the community. Individual chapters and members involve
themselves in activities that allow IOTA the opportunity to give and enrich the
lives of others.
