| In a word, Triangle is a "home," a family-like atmosphere. The word
"fraternity" implies Brotherhood, a close
group of friends sharing common interests that live together. Triangle
provides an excellent place for students in technical fields to satisfy
the many needs of college life.
Since the first social fraternity was founded in 1776, college
fraternities and sororities have grown, built upon the foundation of
serving the student and his or her Alma Mater. In the chapter home of
the fraternity, there is an opportunity to supplement the teachings of the
classroom. In Triangle, the student learns lessons of group living,
personality and character development, in an atmosphere designed for
fullest benefit to the individual. Triangle, thus, provides a bridge
between academic life and a career, as well as a foundation for success in
the years after college.
Triangle limits its membership to students majoring in engineering,
architecture, and the sciences. Thus, Triangle is unique in the North-American
Interfraternity Conference, being the only member fraternity that selects
its membership from these majors. This is done to draw together outstanding
men with similar course work and career goals.
There are many reasons for joining a fraternity. The chief reason for
joining Triangle is the friendship of the members you meet and come to
know. Underlying it all will be the knowledge that you can follow the trail
blazed by Triangle's outstanding members to leadership in the field of your
choice.
You may ask, "What are Triangle's Greek letters?" Unlike most other social
fraternities, Triangle does not have a Greek letter name. This is one
point that makes Triangle stand out in contrast with other fraternities on
its campuses. While some students may have problems sorting one name from
another, Triangle is easy to recognize as the only national fraternity for
students in Engineering, Architecture and Science.
Triangle has a lot to offer academically, socially, and athletically.
Preparing yourself for your future career and achieving
Academic success are your primary goal at the
university. Even so, Social Participation
provides an enhancement from the busy and challenging college curriculum.
Athletics are important because they encourage
physical ability as well as competition and cooperation.
Triangle understands the balance between these and strives to attain a
level of excellence in each of the three areas while maintaining a
friendly, comfortable atmosphere where lifelong friendships can be made.
