Polaris Stan Chambers Jr. participated in a panel discussion Friday evening sponsored by the Clinton Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

The discussion hit on a variety of issues, including COVID-19, systemic racism, voter engagement, and the Biden/Harris agenda.

Polaris Chambers highlighted the Triangle Iotas’ ongoing community engagement, from its Voter Education Series to its ongoing Law Enforcement Series.

“Discussions like these are pivotal in helping the community understand the impact of the Divine 9, as well as hear firsthand how our respective organizations are working to enhance the areas we serve,” Chambers said. “I appreciate the Clinton Alumnae Chapter for brining us together, and I hope we’re able to work more closely on the issues impacting our communities."

VIDEO: Know Your Rights When Stopped By The Police

Knowing what you can and can’t do when interacting with law enforcement can make the difference between life and death.

Two members of the Triangle Iotas, who are also police officers, led a discussion where they explained what citizens should and shouldn’t do in various encounters with law enforcement and answered questions from participants.

The event was part of the Triangle Iotas’ Law Enforcement Series, which is under the chapter’s Time to Build Initiative.

It's Election Day - SO. GO. VOTE!

The Triangle Iotas created a quick video urging those who haven’t already voted to do so on Election Day.

And if you haven’t voted yet, then GO VOTE!

The Triangle Iotas are on the forefront of promoting the importance of voting and access to voting, from our Voter Education Series to our listing of North Carolina voting FAQs to participating in early voting events such as the Power to the Polls march.

For #ThetaManThursday, we want to thank our chapter members who have already voted.

Thank you for doing your part, and we look forward to many others following suit.

The Triangle Iotas are honored to welcome two new brothers to our chapter and fraternity.

Daniel “Nomos” Tyler (L) is an officer with the Kinston (NC) Police Department and a United States Marine Corps veteran. Delvon “Soter” Jackson (R) is an officer with the Gaston County (NC) Police Department.

Both men have hit the ground running with a project that will be integrated into the chapter’s Time to Build Initiative.

“Serving the community, and being part of something bigger than themselves, are engrained into Daniel and Delvon, which is why they were excellent candidates for the Triangle Iotas and Iota Phi Theta,” said Chapter Polaris Stan Chambers Jr., who was in charge of their intake process. “I look forward to their efforts as Iota men in enhancing the communities we serve.”
