The Eastern Region of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Incorporate was created in a
re-organization of two other regions, the Mid-Atlantic region (PA, DE, MD, D.C.) and the Southeast region (VA, NC, and SC)

Initially, DE, MD, D.C., VA, and NC joined the newly created Eastern Region in 2003. In spring of 2004, the newly formed Republic of Korea Alumni Colony (chartered by brothers from Alpha Omicron Omega Alumni Chapter) now known as Alpha Rho Omega Alumni Chapter also joined the Eastern Region.

With the combination of these two regions into the Eastern Region and the addition of the Republic of Korea, the region became one of the most historic as it is comprised of many of the first single-letter chapters of IOTA. With the newly crowned Iota East “Leadership All-stars” guiding the region into new frontiers, the region is fast metamorphosing into one of the most powerful and respected regions in the Fraternity.

In 2005 at the 30th International Conclave, the Eastern Region along with the Atlantic Coast Region (our neighboring region to the North) made history as co-Regions of The Year. Currently the Eastern Region, and its members, are working hard to become the benchmark once again for the whole fraternity.

Region Motto:
We stand firmly; unbreakable in the commitment to make meaningful contributions to the future of the African-American community.
