Iota Phi

Iota Phi was chartered on September 22, 1979, at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Affectionately known as "The Sin Chapter," it was the seventh undergraduate charter awarded in the state of New York and the third awarded at a member institution of the Ivy League. Although based at Cornell University, Iota Phi also draws interest from students enrolled at Ithaca College, also in Ithaca, New York. The chapter falls under the jurisdiction of the Northern Province and is advised by Corning-Elmira (NY) Alumni.

Trivia

 * Iota Phi is the answer to the trick question "What was the first charter awarded to an Ivy League member institution?" Students enrolled at Harvard University are initiated at, and affiliated with, Theta Iota, whose charter is based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is not a member of the athletic conference. In 1921 and 1954, the years the Omicron and Delta Eta charters were awarded to Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania, respectively, the Ivy League had not yet come into existence.
