Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African- Americans, was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of brotherhood among African descendants in this country. The visionary founders, known as the Jewels of the fraternity, are Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy. The fraternity initially served as a study and support group for minority students who faced racial prejudice, both educationally and socially, at Cornell. Early leaders of the fraternity succeeded in laying a firm foundation for Alpha Phi Alpha’s principles of scholarship, fellowship, good character, and the uplifting of humanity. Alpha Phi Alpha chapters were developed at other colleges and universities—many of them historically black institutions—soon after the founding at Cornell. While continuing to stress academic excellence among its members, Alpha also recognized the need to help correct the educational, economic, political, and social injustices faced by African-Americans. On January 29, 1973, the Theta Iota chapter was established as the first black Greek organization at Virginia Tech by a group of ambitious black men known as the Fine Nine. On April 17, 1992, the Interfraternity Council and Student Affairs Council recognized the Theta Iota chapter as a positive fraternal influence on the campus of Radford University. Since then many Radford men have continued to develop the tradition of a unified joint chapter with their brothers at Virginia Tech. The Theta Iota chapter has set precedence at Virginia Tech by being identified as leaders in community service. Since foundation in 1973, the chapter has won numerous awards, including its highest honor in 1981 as Alpha Phi Alpha National Chapter of the Year, Outstanding Fraternity Awards 2001-2005 from Radford University, and most recently, Most Improved Chapter GPA for 2005-2006.
IOTA PhI ThETA exPenses: New Member, First Semester dues: Provided at Interest Meeting Fall Semester dues: Provided at Interest Meeting Spring Semester dues: Provided at Interest Meeting acaDeMics: GPA New Member Initiation Requirement: 2.5 GPA Active Membership Requirement: 2.5 Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., was founded September 19, 1963 at Morgan State College in Baltimore, Maryland during the heart of the Civil Rights Movement. The fraternity was founded by 12 men: Albert Hicks, Lonnie Spurill Jr., Charles Briscoe, Frank Coakley, John Slade, Barron Willis, Webster Lewis, Charles Brown, Louis Hudnell, Elias dorsey Jr., Charles Gregory, and Michael Williams. These men were considered “non-traditional” students due to factors such as their age, maturity, and heightened responsibility. Many of them had families, full-time jobs, and some were service veterans. Because of these factors, the founders held a different perspective on the fraternal experience than the normal college student. Because Iota is a social service fraternity, it has several philanthropies with the purpose of improving different areas of society. The National Iota Foundation is a non-profit organization with the purpose of obtaining funds for charitable organizations. The I.O.T.A. Youth Alliance is a youth mentoring program, and the digital Heritage Initiative is an African American History Education Program. The Afya Njema Program is a physical, mental, and spiritual health program and the developing Better Fatherhood Project is an initiative to combat the problem of fathers not staying in the lives of their children. The Virginia Tech Colony of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., was chartered on december 28, 2006 by four men. These men, like the fraternity founders, had a vision to positively impact the community while embodying the principles of scholarship, leadership, citizenship, fidelity, and brotherhood among men. As Iota Phi Theta continues to grow and strengthen, so will its commitment to make meaningful contributions to society in general, with particular emphasis on the African American community. The fraternity is, and shall forever remain, dedicated to its founders’ vision of “building a tradition, not resting upon one!” NPHC IFQ Nickname: iotas National Founding Date: september 19, 1963 National Website: www.iotaphitheta.org National Chapters: 270 Chapter Name: virginia tech colony Virginia Tech Chartering Date: December 28, 2006 Motto: “building a tradition, not resting upon one” National Programs: the i.o.t.a. youth alliance afya njema Developing better fatherhood Project Famous Members: brother elvin Hayes brother t.c. carson brother Dave leitao Portico 2009-2010 59
