Joshua Gonzalez is a member of the SUNY New Paltz chapter of Phi Iota Alpha.

The Fraternity and Sorority Community at the State University of New York at New Paltz is dedicated to the ideals of friendship, scholarship, leadership, and service to the campus and community.

As a member of Phi Iota Alpha, Joshua gains leadership skills through chapter development, officer roles, governing opportunities and training programs. In addition, Phi Iota Alpha gives back to the local community through community service and philanthropic events year after year. Fraternities and sororities provide members with a family experience while here at college. Phi Iota Alpha members share a strong bond and deep friendship that only a fraternity can provide.

Phi Iota Alpha, established in 1931, is the oldest and the first Latino Fraternity in existence, and works to motivate people, develop leaders and create innovative ways to unite the Latino community. The organization has roots that stem back to the late 19th century to the first Latin American student organization in the United States.
