AboutUs
Theta Tau encourages its chapters to provide a healthy balance of community service, professional development, and brotherhood/social activities for its members. It is the diversity of activities which creates a balanced program and more meaningful undergraduate fraternity experience. A member’s professional and personal development is the benefit of membership. Life after college is important, and membership in Theta Tau is for life, not just for a few collegiate semesters. Once you have completed your student years, you will have formed lifelong friendships and will continue to receive value as an alumnus.

John Denard
Iota Gamma Class,
Regent
As a freshman looking for an organization that would advance me professionally and socially while offering me personal challenges and leadership opportunities, choosing to pledge Theta Tau was the best decision I could have made. Not only were each of my desires for an organization fulfilled, they were completely exceeded.

Hope Bowden
Eta Gamma Class,
Corresponding Secretary
Pledging for me was one of the best experiences I had with OT. It is where I found my second family away from home. Coming to OU from out of state was difficult until I joined. I have found friends that have become family and I hope to have in my life for a very long time. It also gave me a better sense of how to present myself professionally and what to expect as an aspiring engineer.
