Purpose Statement:
The Purpose of the FIAT Club is to dedicate its members to the empowerment of the Latino Community. The group welcomes Latino and non-Latino men, with the intention of bringing university male leaders and entrepreneurs together in working with their local communities through city-wide initiatives and multiple university programs. It follows the ideals of Phi Iota Alpha, which was founded on December 26th, 1931. Furthermore it dedicates its members to providing intensive educational, cultural and social activities geared towards the promotion of Latin American Culture. As a club open to all races and cultures, FIAT Club serves to unify all Latinos and other ethnic groups.
The FIAT Club strives to unify all the Latin American cultures under one network, while unifying and advancing Latino Americans in the United States. Furthermore, the members of FIAT dedicate their efforts to abolish the ignorance, prejudice, and racism against and between the Latin American nationalities within our communities, universities, and nations of origin.
