A Message From Our Regent
Theta Tau is such a unique organization in the Russ college, it's full of involved and committed students who are professional and outgoing. For me, the organization has helped me become a better leader and connected me with students and faculty in majors and groups throughout the Russ college, and has helped me network with members in every corner of the US, both students and alumni. Watching the organization grow and the members develop as emerging leaders has been so rewarding for me and made me want to devote my time to this amazing group.

Theta Tau History
Founded at the University of Minnesota in 1904, Theta Tau is the nation's oldest and foremost fraternity for engineers. Theta Tau has initiated over 30,000 members, and carefully follows 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. Through visitation from national officers and other alumni, the stability of each chapter is maintained. Guidance and publications are also provided by the Central Office to help manage the chapter in a professional manner. Through national conferences and conventions, there is an annual opportunity to connect with fraternity brothers from chapters across the nation. We are always looking for motivated, ambitious, and energetic engineering students that are interested in building friendships, improving their professional lives, and becoming the strong foundation upon which the fraternity is built. Are you the person we are looking for?
