From A Different Breed, Byron Fields discusses his experiences that have helped motivate and shape his life. In the wake of his sophomore year in college, Byron remembers a promise to his roommates to change the face of the youngest fraternity in the National Pan Hellenic Council, the “latest and greatest” Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. He breaks the notion of inferiority and represents change and a new tradition of manhood. Byron not only explains what it takes to be an Iota man, but he opens the door to a unique way of teaching individuality and having the strength to stand for what you believe in, from his perspective. He goes in depth about the challenges, pressures, and sacrifices faced while fulfilling your passion. This book also encompasses lessons in transcending your fears and having intense courage in all that you do.
