Our
Strategic Vision
Founded at the University of Minnesota in 1904, Theta Tau is the largest
(as well as the oldest) professional fraternity in the field of
engineering. Over 28,000 have been initiated over the years. 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 members
in any one of its chapters across the nation.
Theta Tau follows carefully a program in the selection and development
of its members that stresses the importance of high professional ethics and
exemplary practices. Within each chapter, the Fraternity stimulates
professional activity and social compatibility; provides a framework for
group participation in campus, community, engineering, and fraternity
affairs; and promotes lasting friendships - a lifetime of brotherhood in an
engineering environment.
The Fraternity presents awards for outstanding personal and chapter
achievements. Through visitation from national officers and other alumni,
the stability of each chapter can be maintained. Guidance and publications
are provided by the Central Office to help manage the chapter in a
professional manner. Financial assistance is available through loans for
chapter housing and loans for senior students.
Through national conferences and conventions, there is an annual
opportunity to associate with fraternity brothers (students and alumni)
from chapters across the nation.
