What is Rush?
Rush is your chance to meet members of Theta Tau and see how our organization will help you. It is our chance to put our best foot forward and show what Theta Tau is about. It is normally held the second and third week of Spring and Fall semester. It offers free food, information, and fun!
- No obligations
- All events are FREE.
What is Pledging?
Pledging is your chance to detemine
if the fraternity is the best fit for you. It is a
semester long process where you will be encouraged
to meet all of the members, will learn the
history and general information of the chapter
and fraternity and see how our organization will
help you. You’ll take part in open meetings, committee events and
see what exactly we do as a campus organization.
Obligations:
- You are expected to attend an hour long pledge meeting.
- Social events are held throughout the week, you are highly encouraged to attend, but we understand the schedules of college life.
- There is a $40 pledge fee, this goes towards supplies during your pledge period and filing your name with nationals.
- There are no obligations to become a member during pledging.
Membership Requirements
- You must pass both a national and local test.
- You must have a minimum 2.0 GPA

Why Join?
As a co-ed, professional organization, we offer you more than social fraternites can. As a fraternity, we offer you more than honor and technical societies can. We are one of the strongest chapters nationally. We have a strict policy against hazing. We offer balanced events: lifetime brotherhood, professionalism, and philanthropy
Benefits:
- True brotherhood that lasts long after you get your diploma.
- Opportunities for leadership.
- Professional career contacts and networking.
- Students that have already been there. We understand Calculus II and O-Chem! (Well, kinda, we've taken it...)
Dues
"What about dues?" is a common and fair question. All organizations
have dues, but you shouldn't let them scare you from making the
most of your college experience.
Our dues are extremely inexpensive compared to any social fraternity on campus. Also, among all the chapters of Theta Tau, our dues are lowest!
