Community service across Chicagoland
How the brothers of Eta Omega give back – and how you can serve with us.
Our impact
Service is how we build tradition
Since 1979, the brothers of the Eta Omega Alumni Chapter have put the principles of Iota Phi Theta – Scholarship, Leadership, Citizenship, Fidelity and Brotherhood – to work in Chicago-area neighborhoods. From seasonal drives to mentoring young men, our service is year-round and open to the community.
Building a Tradition, Not Resting Upon One.
