Iota Phi Theta—Boasting the motto: “Building A Tradition, Not Resting Upon One,” Iota Phi Theta is the youngest of the “Divine Nine” organizations, founded in 1963 at Morgan State University during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. The fraternity actively participated in the movement – one of it’s first coordinated actions was a successful picket line of the white-only Northwood Theater across the street from Morgan State. 

Did You Know: T.C. Carson, who played “Kyle” on 90s sitcom Living Single, is one of the fraternity’s roughly 30,000 members.
