Iota Phi Theta is a nationally incorporated, predominantly African-American fraternity. Founded on September 19, 1963 at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland.
The fraternity was founded by twelve men in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement even though there were already 4 other prominent Historically Black Fraternities at the time. Influences included organizations such as the Black Panthers, SNCC, plus individuals like Malcolm X, and Stokely Carmichael. Iota brothers participated in various protests and sit-ins throughout the city of Baltimore. The founders were distinguished from their peers as they were all non-traditional students. Older than their peers, many had served in the military, working full-time while attending classes, and having families. On September 19, 1963, in the height of the Civil Rights' Movement, these twelve founders gathered together on the steps of Hurt Gymnasium on the campus of Morgan State College (now known as Morgan State University) and formed Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. The fraternity was formed as a support system for men of color during the turbulent U.S. social climate of the time.

Get the Theta21 mug.One of the largest & oldest Fraternities with over 228,000 brothers. Phi Delta Theta (ΦΔΘ) was founded in 1848. It has grown into one of the best known & active fraternities on most college campuses throughout America & Canada. Rivals are Sae, Ka & Sigmachi.
Phis gained a national reputation as spoiled party boys usually from WASPy familes who wear Brooks Brothers, the Pony & Gator, croakies, sunglasses around the neck at night, red polo pants, bowties, RedWings, GuyHarvey, Vineyard Vines, Ralph Lauren, Southern Proper, NorthFace, Fratagonia, Sperrys, RayBans, Rainbows & have Z-71Tahoes, BMWs, or Rovers. Notoriously Republican, Phis schedule their classes so they don’t have to go on Friday, usually hunt & acknowledge that earrings are for girls & bleach for laundry.
Phis usually are lax or polo stars, spend afternoons bumming around the cc, engage in pledge croquet, drive golf balls at random objects during charity tournaments & end up fighting their rivals at fundraisers. Phis date hot Sorostitutes (those ladies with their pearls on 24/7 that dress like a StepfordWife & aspire to be a good wife, a home mom, join the JuniorLeague, UDC & the DAR.)
Phis worship a famous member Burt Reynolds & as products of the upper crusts of American society are found escorting more than their fair share of debutantes. Phis take nothing from no one & usually give nothing back. They try to live up to their national rep. as "Bad boys from Good families."
They are the best & they know it.

Phis can be seen strutting campus in Sperry's, short shorts, Polo, NorthFace backpack & "Frat Swoop, or Frat Bangs" hairstyle, RayBan aviators & croakies from their summer camp or favorite sorority. ("Frat Bangs": when hair "swoops" down across the forehead & brushes up against that person's eyebrows. This requires a good deal of head bobbing making sure the bangs stay in place & the Phis are usually seen doing the "fratbang headpop" every few mins. This gesture makes them seem even more arrogant & snobbish than they already are.)
Phi#1: "Did you know there are more Phis in "Who's Who" than any other fraternity in the US?"
Phi#2: "Yes, but did YOU know that Tke was founded by Phi rejects?"
Phi#3: "I bet neither of you knew that the largest fraternity complex in the US is actually the FSU PHI house, not the Pike house."
Ex. Phi Delta Theta at UNC chartered a boat, & did some deepsea while bronzing & killed a cooler of ice cold beer.
Ex. The SMU Phis sipped on bourbon & coke at the game & mingled with ladies in their colored shorts, white oxford shirt, gameday tie & a sorority button on their chest.
Ex. The Phi Delts at Rollins had a CaddyShack party on the roof & drove balls at other fraternity houses.
Ex. The Vandy Phis were kicked off campus for beating pledges with golf clubs.
Ex. Ole Miss Phi Delt is known to be the best & snobbish elitist fraternity on campus; making them the frattiest fraternity at what is well known to be the frattiest school in the nation.

Get the Delta Theta Gamma mug.1. Soul. As defined by Scientology. Derived from the greek letter theta for thought or life or the spirit.
2. Thetans are needed to animate a flesh body.
3. According to Scientology you are full of "body thetans" - degraded thetans who were once people but are now clustered together along with you and inhabit your body along with you. You are the leader of these thetans.
75 million years ago there was supposedly a ruler of this part of the galaxy named Xenu. To cure overpopulation on all the planets he controlled he summoned the people with psychiatric conditions in for an income tax audit. There they were instead paralyzed by injection of an alcohol and glycol mixture into their lungs. They were packed up in refridgerated units and loaded onto space-craft and taken to Earth (called Teegeeack then) and packed around the bases of a few volcanos.
Then their bodies were all destroyed by nuclear explosions. After this the thetans who were flying around in the winds were caught in electronic beams and frozen together in blocks. Then they were taken to huge 3-D cinemas and shown forms of what life should be like on Earth. After that they supposedly clustered together with a lead thetan in charge and they ended up inhabiting bodies in these clusters. Hence although we are a single thetan we supposedly have about 2,500 other lesser "body thetans" attached to our own thetan self.
The dysharmonious relationship between you and your thetans is what causes all sickness and disease in the world.
If you join Scientology, and pay thousands of dollars, you can go through the process of freeing yourself from these body thetans at huge monetary expense.

I know why I have cancer! My thetans are flaring up again. Better fork over some cash to the Scientology folks so that I can be rid of this disease and my entire life inheritance.
