. . : : Purpose of IND : : . .

Iota Nu Delta was established on February 7, 1994 at Binghamton University. It was established on certain fundamental principles which were needed to attain it’s goals. There is not one purpose or objective for the founding of the fraternity, but many.

1. IND was founded to serve as an organized institution to help serve as 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 can assist upcoming aspiring "professionals." For this reason, the fraternity has always help education as an utmost priority keeping in mind that today’s college students will be tomorrow’s professionals.
   
2. IND was also founded to serve as an aid in community service for what is all the education and attained skills if they cannot be utilized for the benefit of society. IND has always believed in playing a role in making some difference in our community. Although presently, it is not as evident because we still are undergoing the "pains" of establishment and growth, and because most our present brothers have not entered the professional arena, in due time brothers will play a major role in community service and leadership.
   
3. IND was also founded as a forum to encourage education and continued awareness of the Indian culture. When the term "Indian" is used in this context, it is not limited to the political demarcations of the county and it’s people itself but extends all its cultural influences and peoples around the world including Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Guyana, Mauritius, United States, etc. The fraternity has always encouraged and stressed the importance of "cultural awareness" which not only includes a knowledge of our own culture but also a knowledge and appreciation of other cultures. Consequen tly, the fraternity believes in various experiences and activities to share Indian culture with others and participate in activities teaching about other cultures. Although the fraternity can be argued to be "culture based", it does not exclude membership on the basis of color, creed, or country. On the contrast, it encourages different types of people to become brothers.

Although many may label Iota Nu Delta as a "cultural fraternity", it is a premature limitation for as you can see from the purposes and goals explained above, the Iota Nu Delta agenda extends to cultural, professional and social concerns.
