"The purpose of Theta Tau is to develop and maintain a high standard of professional interest among its members and to unite them in a strong bond of fraternal fellowship."
We are the Pi Chapter of Theta Tau, the oldest and largest professional engineering fraternity in the nation, located at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Founded over 100 years ago, Theta Tau has grown to be the premier professional engineering fraternity in the US with over 86 active chapters and colonies around the nation. We host several events around Grounds throughout the year, so feel free to come out to those and talk to a brother if you have any questions regarding our brotherhood or Theta Tau.
We seek motivated, ambitious, and energetic engineering students at the University of Virginia that are interested in preparing professionally for a future in engineering with a motivation for helping others and the community, and becoming integral parts and a strong foundation upon which the fraternity is founded.
