Phi Rho Eta (ΦPH) is a nationally incorporated, predominantly African-American fraternity that was founded on August 22, 1994 at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois. The founders are LaMont Taylor and Marvin Randolph.

Phi Rho Eta is based on the three principles of Pride, Respect, and Excellence through Community Development, Academics, and Social Interactions.

Philanthropy

The national philanthropy of the fraternity is the Mentor Teacher Brother program (MTB.)ref|mtb Members go into local high schools and tutor students, as well as set up a curriculum which helps them grow into successful college students. Scholarships are provided for students from the fraternity as well so mentees can furnish higher education.

Membership

New members of Phi Rho Eta Fraternity are accepted on both undergraduate and graduate levels.

UNDERGRADUTE MEMBERSHIP

Potential members may be admitted for membership in an undergraduate chapter only while in attendance at a four-year accredited college or university, or at a junior or community college. There is a miminum grade point average that must be achieved at all times during undergraduate membership to remain active.

GRADUATE/ALUMNI MEMBERSHIP

Potential graduate members must hold a degree from a four-year accredited educational institution.

The Process

The pledge period is the time that a pledge or potential new member of the fraternity engages in before being initiated as a member. This period is the time the pledge learns of the organization's history, principles and tenacity of brotherhood.

Hazing

Hazing is now against the law in many U.S. states and the fraternity's official policy is that hazing is against the purposes and goals of the Fraternity. There is a zero tolerance against any kind of hazing. Individuals involved in hazing face severe disciplinary action by the fraternity and authorities.

Colony

A colony is a probationary body of the fraternity. If a member wants to become a member of the fraternity at a school that does not host the fraternity it may petition Nationals for status as a colony. If the colony prospers, the colony may later be charted, thereby becoming a full chapter of the fraternity.
