Theta Tau Professional Co-Ed Engineering Fraternity - Kappa Gamma Chapter
Virginia Commonwealth University
47 Members
Theta Tau is a co-ed professional engineering fraternity. 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. Nationally, our fraternity was founded at the University of Minnesota on October 15, 1904. Since then, we have grown to over sixty active chapters nationwide with ten active colonies. We are the oldest and largest engineering fraternity in the country, having initiated over 30,000 members since 1904. Our alumni have gone on to be business owners, astronauts, US Senators, and very successful engineers.
Our chapter was founded by a few men living on the fifth floor of Rhoads Hall in the fall of 1997. They sought out engineering fraternities and found Theta Tau, and they soon contacted the national officers about forming a chapter of Theta Tau at VCU. They formed Xi Omega Chi, a local engineering fraternity, which became the VCU Colony of Theta Tau on March 28, 1998. Because The VCU School of Engineering was not ABET accredited at the time, we were required to be a colony for two years, and on September 9, 2000, the Kappa Gamma chapter of Theta Tau was installed with 24 men and women as charter members. Since our beginning, we have had 215 sign our chapter roll and join us as brothers.
