About Theta Tau
Founded at the University of Minnesota in 1904, Theta Tau is the largest and oldest professional fraternity in the field of engineering. Nearly 30,000 have been initiated since Theta Tau's founding. With emphasis on quality and a strong fraternal bond, the Fraternity has chapters only at ABET accredited schools, and limits to fifty the number of student member in any one of its thirty-eight stuent branches across the nation. In addition to the character building potential of many other fraternities, Theta Tau offers its members professional development experiences and contacts with alumni who are professional engineers -- opportunities not available to most undergraduates. It carefully follows a program in the selection and development of its members that stresses the importance of high professional activity and social compatibility, provides a framework for group participation in campus, community, engineering, and fraternity affairs, offers recreation, and promotes lasting friendship -- a lifetime of brotherhood in an engineering environment. Each member is encouraged to participate fully in the technical society in his or her field, and as fully as his or her abilities and academic load will permit in athletics, enineering, or university student government, and other worthwhile campus activities. Because of the Fraternity's professional orientation, commuter students, graduate and married students, as well as single undergraduates, all find membership valuable. About Home About Alpha Chapter |
