Phi Iota Alpha is the oldest intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for men of Latino descent in the United States. The fraternity was founded on December 26, 1931 from the merger of Sigma Iota and Phi Lambda Alpha, two smaller Latino fraternities. It expanded into a national organization with nine chapters. The fraternity went defunct in 1973 when its last chapter closed.

Phi Iota Alpha was re-established at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the spring semester 1984. The fraternity began expanding, chartering chapters at universities and colleges across the United States. Phi Iota Alpha has collegiate chapters, a graduate/professional chapter, and associate chapters. The fraternity's colonies are called associate chpaters.
