Tau Beta Pi Association Texas Delta Chapter

Tau Beta Pi is the national engineering honor society representing all engineering disciplines. It is the equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa for the liberal arts and sciences. It was founded on the belief that an engineers education should comprise more than academics. It should lead to a well-rounded person through the "fostering of a spirit of liberal culture engineering." Those academically eligible, the top 1/5 of the senior class and 1/8 of the junior class, are invited to join, but must demonstrate that they posses strength of character in order to obtain member status through participation in cultural, social, community service environments. Graduate students who have attained a GPA of 3.75 are also invited to join. Having obtained membership, it is expected of Tau Bate Pi members that they live a life dedicated to "Integrity and Excellence in Engineering."
