START A CHAPTER
Build your Legacy with Triangle
Expansion
Anyone can join a social fraternity, but it takes a true leader - full of dedication, passion, and commitment - to start something new... to build a fraternity chapter. Chapter founders are among the most respected members of Triangle and enjoy a special status every time they return to their campuses after graduation.
Triangle is committed to branching out by building new chapters at top-tier institutions across the country, as well as reopening our dormant chapters. Many of Triangle's expansion efforts have begun with a dedicated group of student leaders interested in bringing Triangle to their campus.
Starting a New Chapter
If you are interested in starting a chapter of Triangle, the following steps will lead you to success.
Express Interest
Contact Executive Director Morgan Brickley at morgan@triangle.org. Include in the e-mail the individual who will serve as the main point of contact between the Interest Group and Headquarters. Generally, an interest group should have 12 or more men to be considered.
Organize Your Group
Once the group reaches 12 men or more, a Triangle staff member or national volunteer will arrange for a campus visit to meet with the group and determine if recognizing the Colony is the right choice. Factors taken into consideration include the STEM programs at the university, the presence/interest of local alumni, the current campus Greek system and enrollment/graduation trends.
Determine Your Group Level
Triangle Fraternity recognizes two levels of undergraduate groups: Colony and Chapter. A Colony contains at least 20 men who begins the process of New Member Education and creates the foundation for a successful Chapter. Once the group has reached 30+ men and formed a healthy, sustainable student organization, the Colony is encouraged to petition Triangle Fraternity's National Council for recognition as a Chapter.
