⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
June 19th, 1865 marked a historic event in the State of Texas. On that day, enslaved African Americans received word of their emancipation.

Happy Birthday to Bro. Carlos M. Maury, International Director of Technology of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.®

It is with deep sadness that Iota Phi Theta announces the passing of Most Honorable Founder Louis Hudnell. The fraternity respectfully appreciates his contributions as a founder of our great fraternity and the Dean of Pledges of the first pledge line in 1964 - The "first 15" Centaurs.

Please take a moment of silence in remembrance.

Father: “A son's first hero, a daughter's first love"

Happy Mother's Day on behalf of the men of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.®

Happy Founders' Day to the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. (NPHC)

NPHC’s purpose is to promote "unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sororities, and to consider the problems of mutual interest to its member organizations."

Every year and every day, our dedicated teachers selflessly give up their personal time, finances, and energy to shape the minds of our children, who will become the future leaders of society. Although often an unappreciated job, the men of Iota Phi Theta want to take this to express their gratitude for all the work that teachers do behind the scenes.

We would like to invite our brothers in education to step forward so that we can thank you personally! Please comment with your name, chapter, the grade level you teach, or your instructional position, and the name of your school or district.

Happy Birthday to Bro. Kevin Bennett, Executive Director of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.®

The National Pan-Hellenic Council Divine Nine Researchers Pipeline is diversifying research at the microscope AND in our communities. Meet D9 Researchers William Cade and Dr. Ashley Carter who are committed to making change possible. To learn about the All of Us Research Hub, visit bit.ly/bglc-researcher

What do you call the youngest mayor elected in the United States?

You call him an Iota! Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. is proud to welcome the Honorable Jaylen Smith, mayor of Earle, Arkansas, to the Brotherhood. Brother Mayor Smith exemplifies the Iota tradition of leadership and citizenship, and we are honored to have him wear the Brown and Gold. As we continue to develop the organization’s public policy agenda, it is critically important that we have Brothers in positions of consequence at all levels of government. Welcome to the fold Brother Mayor Smith!

Brown & Gold family, who's at the Galvanizing Gulf Coast Regionals, check-in!

Regional Polaris Akeem Boneparte has taken the fraternity to Montgomery, Alabama - one of the epicenters of the civil rights movement - for a memorable and educational conference.
