The Viet Crew, also known as the Vietnamese Mafia, is the most legendary crew in Iota Phi. The group is made up of pledges and active members who just love everything Vietnamese and can't get enough of it. Viet Crew is the group that every pledge wants to join as our adventures include making trips to Sacramento for delicious Vietnamese food. Our criticisms and endorsements of certain aspects of the Vietnamese culture is what makes this group the best ethnic specific "fun" group in the chapter. Although there are certain aspects of the Vietnamese culture that we are not so fond of such as the strictness of parents, the embarrassment that our parents may lay on to us whenever out in public, or phrases in the Vietnamese language that are just plain hilarious, Viet Crew will always truly be proud to be Vietnamese.
