When did Iota Phi Theta join the NPHC?

• A. 1986
• B. 1996
• C. 1999
• D. 2005

Answer: (B)

Understanding when Iota Phi Theta joined the National Pan-Hellenic Council helps you see how this group became part of the alliance known as the Divine Nine. Iota Phi Theta, founded in 1963, was admitted to the NPHC in 1996 after meeting the council’s membership criteria and receiving official recognition. That 1996 date marks the formal inclusion of Iota Phi Theta into the coalition alongside the other historically African American fraternities and sororities. The other years are not the year they joined, as they relate to different events in the histories of other organizations or timelines.
