Phi Rho Eta Fraternity Inc. On August 22, 1994, the conception of Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. was given light at Southern Illinois University. A brotherhood created with the purpose of ameliorating the host of social diseases that have plagued our communities for far too long, Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. has worked relentlessly to establish itself as a brotherhood committed in purpose and action to transforming the plight of African-Americans everywhere.
The founders, Marvin Randolph and Lamont Taylor, themselves raised in neighborhoods that overflowed with the social diseases of drugs, violence, poverty, and hopelessness, established the organization on the premise that it would promote the principles of Pride, Respect, and Excellence. The founders sought to form a brotherhood that would work to set the standard of manhood, an organization comprised of Charismatic men striving to model and teach exemplary positive behavior.
Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. is a three-pronged organization that revolves around the universal aspects of academics, community service, and social interaction with others. Committed to excellence, Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. has rapidly earned recognition as a premier organization. The Fraternity is routinely honored for its groundbreaking endeavors, and it has received numerous awards from various social, academic, and civic institutions.
The express purpose of Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. is four-fold:
To provide and organization and opportunity for collegiate men that will promote leadership through a proud sense of manhood and honor-an organization that will withstand the test of time;
To promote the uplifting of self and others through community development, academics, and social interaction with other men;
To encourage members to grow through their own and others' experiences, and use this growth to improve relations throughout the communities of their local chapters and across the nation;
To have and achieve Pride in all they do, earn Respect, respect all, and promote Excellence always.
The purpose of the Fraternity outlines the structural components of the organization. The Charismatic membership of the Fraternity continually infuses the Fraternal vision with new life.
Of course, each member of Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. is of exceptional quality. Members are expected to be social leaders, as illustrated by those who have served as president of their local Black Greek Councils. Chapters are expected to set high academic standards, as evidenced by the minimum 3.3. GPA (4.0 scale) that our members are expected to achieve. Brothers work unremittingly to uplift others, as exemplified by the 50 hours of service that each member of Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. must volunteer each semester.
Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. intertwines the traditional aspects of Black Greek social life with an external community development structure that enables the Fraternity to offer inimitable qualities that enhance our membership's ability to profoundly affect the nation's leading campus communities.
One of the cornerstones of Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc., the Mentor Teacher Brother™ mentorship program ("MTB"), directly relates to the interplay between fellowship and community development that the Fraternity promulgates. MTB is designed to provide young African-American males with the tools necessary to succeed in life despite the odds. The program allows members of the Fraternity, contributors, and volunteers, to establish and maintain, positive, meaningful relationships with those who need it most. By striving to set the standard of manhood through academics, social leadership, community development, ethical behavior, and adherence to the organization's principles of Pride, Respect, and Excellence, members of the Fraternity are able to face the dauntless task of eradicating the constant turmoil that young African-American males are forced to cope with everyday.
The brotherhood of Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. realizes that it has embarked upon a great journey, a journey that will ultimately lead to a destination that can only be reached by Charismatic men who are resolute and genuinely committed to changing our communities. Will you join our cause? Imagine the possibilities . . .
