History
At a meeting of the Orlando chapter of the Phi Eta Mu fraternity on September 1, 2001, chapter president, Dr. Carlos Albizu mentioned the lack of presence of members of the other four Puerto Rican fraternities at their annual picnic.{{Cite web |title=Concilio Interfraternitario Puertorriqueño de la Florida, Inc. |url=http://geocities.com/cipfi2002/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091025155717/http://geocities.com/cipfi2002/index.html |archive-date=2009-10-25 |access-date=2024-11-04 |website=Concilio Interfraternitario Puertorriqueño de la Florida, Inc. |language=Spanish |via=web.archive.org}} Albizu asked Eduardo Emmanuelli to try and establish links with this fraternities in the Miami area.
Antonio Amadeo, president of the Nu Sigma Beta chapter in Miami, invited Emmanuelli to the chapter's meeting on December 5, 2001. The Nu Sigma Beta brothers showed such interest that members of the remaining three fraternities were invited to on organizational meeting.
On January 12, 2002 at El Viajante restaurant, the first meeting of Concilio Interfraternitario Puertorriqueño de la Florida (CIPFI) took place. The group was formed as an umbrella organization for Puerto Rican fraternities located in Florida, United States. Manuel E. Costas of Phi Sigma Alpha served as the first president. CIPFI was an alternative umbrella organization for fraternities that did not join National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations or the North American Interfraternity Conference.Straight, Tegra M.
