Iota Nu Delta Fraternity,
Incorporated was established on February 7, 1994 at Binghamton University by
eight young men. IND was formed as an organization that would serve as an arena
for growth for young college men and to educate the community of their heritage
and culture. Today it has grown to a brotherhood of more than 600 young men
from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Guyana and the Dominican Republic.
Although many may label Iota Nu Delta as a "cultural fraternity", it
does not encompass the goals of the brotherhood. Iota Nu Delta functions
extends to cultural, professional and social concerns. It was established on
certain fundamental principles which were needed to attain it’s goals.
I. IND provides a network and source of help and
guidance for today’s upcoming college men. As a network, it will function both
during college life and even afterwards to a brother’s professional career as a
source of aid and assistance. Brothers who are already working and in the career
and professional market often assist upcoming aspiring
"professionals" providing career advice and job opportunities for
individuals qualified.
II. IND aids in community service utilizing the
education and skills of brothers for the benefit of society. IND has always
believed in making a difference in our community. We aim to serve those around
us, enhancing the quality of life within the community. All it takes to make a
difference is a small unselfish contribution, in terms of time and effort, upon
the part of the individual.
III. IND also aims to provide an enriching college
experience. The college years are a very unique and memorable part of an
individuals academic career. However, it doesn't all have to be work and
school. We encourage brothers to lead a well balanced life where education is
certainly a priority, but not the sole focus of the individual. Throughout the
school year, we host parties, mixers, and cultural events serving as an outlet
for hardworking students from the challenges and stress of college life.
East Carolina University has just recently
indicted Iota Nu Delta Fraternity Inc. into the Multicultural Greek Council on
May 7th, 2010 along with Lambda Theta Alpha Sorority Inc., and Sigma
Omicron Epsilon Sorority Inc. Founded in upstate New York (Binghamton), the
organization took a strong foothold of rekindling the South with the many
schools up North, an effort spearheaded by the colony founding fathers: Sunny
Dattani, Kishan Vaidya, Rupen Patel. The strong foundation set by ECU has stood
strong crossing 2 Beta class members (Farman Usman and Deven Craft) and 3
recently added Gamma class members (Imthiaz Sayed, Ethan Morrow, and Samuel
LaFosse). Standing 7 strong, we hope to spread Our Creed.
