Membership
Joining Our Sisterhood
For there is no friend
like a sister
In calm or stormy weather,
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.
Sorority membership
provides a lifetime of learning and involvement. Iota Phi Lambda
provides its members with a climate for growth and development of
leadership skills and talents.
When you join Iota Phi
Lambda Sorority, you not only join a network of over 100 chapters
across the nation, but more importantly, you join a sisterhood of
over 5000 African American women dedicated to the ideals of
sisterhood, friendship, and professional development.
Sorority membership is
a lifetime commitment, requiring time, dedication, and resources but
it also rewards its members in providing a nurturing environment in
which to develop and share their skills and talents. As a
professional sisterhood, eligibility for membership in Iota Phi
Lambda is based on academic achievement, professional
accomplishment, and civic involvement.
Membership in Iota Phi
Lambda is divided into two areas, Graduate and
Undergraduate. The basic qualifications are as follows:
Graduate:
-
Must be a Graduate of
accredited business college or university, or;
-
Graduate of a 4 year
college who successfully owns/operates a business, or;
-
Graduated of
accredited two-year business college meeting the requirements of
48 credit hours.
Undergraduate:
-
Any student who is
pursuing a 4-year course and who has completed at least fifteen
credit hours (1 semester) of college work with the average grade
of that school, may apply for membership. However, she may not be
initiated until she has a total of thirty semester hours (1 year)
to her credit.
Iota Phi Lambda
believes membership in a sorority is voluntary and a matter of
mutual selection. Membership in Iota is by invitation of the local
chapters. Each chapter schedules its own membership recruitment
period during the programming year where women can learn about the
organization, the chapter and local events.
