The friendships formed in Triangle are, above all, the most notable benefits of joining. Imagine coming to a huge university of about 47,000 undergraduate students and feeling like a stranger, totally overwhelmed. Then imagine becoming a part of a group of close friends in almost no time. Watch the apparent size of the University shrink before your eyes and your comfort level skyrocket. It can happen and it has happened - just ask any member of Triangle.
All of us are engineering, architecture, or science majors. You can expect to find people who have taken the classes you are currently in and who know about each curriculum and the options within it. That means you don't sit and stare at your textbook when you don't understand something. You don't rely on piles of confusing information and 20-minute once-a-semester sessions with your advisor to figure out what direction you want to take in your field of study. You have better options than these. And when you get out of school, you have a solid education and fraternity connections - you can join the ranks of current members and alumni, who work or have worked at companies such as National Instruments, L3, Catepillar, Hewlett-Packard, and many more.
Being both professional and social, Triangle enjoys many great events each semester - parties, brotherhood events, campouts, and regular interaction with guys that really know what it's like to be in a technical major at one of the nations top schools. We strive to help our members create a balance between the demands and obligations we face and the fun experiences that we consider a necessary part of college.
Some of our members are also involved outside of Triangle in activities such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, MSC Film Society, Society for Creative Anachronisms, Eta Kappa Nu (an Electrical and Computer Engineering honor society), Tau Beta Pi (a College of Engineering honor society), IEEE, and AIChE.
Balance. Working hard now in anticipation of future success. Enjoying life now. Friendships. Great memories that will last forever. The ability to bump any college experience up to the "A+" level. Triangle is all of these things.
Triangle helps you build your natural talents and qualities to become a well-balanced
person, which is noticed by everyone around you. While Triangle brings those
qualities out, they are inherent in all our brothers, and they are what we look
for when inviting new members to join. So, really, the question is:
