About

Iota brothers and sweethearts, nearly a half century ago I joined with eleven other brothers and founded Iota Phi theta, Inc. The times were such, that a new approach to fraternity was greatly needed on the campus’s of Historically Black Colleges & Universities.

The founders endeavored to fill that vacuum. Over the years I’ve tried to chronicle our efforts through the books I’ve written (IOTA PHI THETA – The Founding and Ascendancy) and (The Centaur Rising).

In the spirit of continuing the noble idea of building on an ever evolving tradition, and despite at a time in my life when retreating to the stagnation and insulation of senior citizenry has it’s appeal; I’ve been rejuvenated by the prospect of continued meaningful involvement with our beloved organization.

Therefore I have chosen to embark upon a new way of relating to Iota and sharing my insight and experiences to assist in meeting the challenges of these times.

I am now engaging the world of social media and the exciting possibilities of the web 2.0 era. More importantly, I am looking forward to interacting with you and benefiting from your viewpoints.

All The Best
Ow- Ow
Founder, John D. Slade
