Triangle Fraternity re-colonizes at Virginia Tech
After 11 years, the nation's only general men's fraternity for engineers, architects, and scientists is re-colonizing at Virginia Tech.
“The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life is looking forward to Triangle Fraternity’s return to Tech," said Ronald Shidemantle, director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. "Triangle has made a commitment to the mission and values of service here at the university. Their return will certainly provide young men with additional outstanding opportunities of membership in the American Fraternity Movement."
The university will partner with Triangle Fraternity this academic year and throughout the re-colonization process.
The fraternity will begin recruiting new members in October. All men pursuing degrees in engineering, architecture, and the sciences are encouraged to join and become founding members for the Virginia Tech chapter.
Triangle Fraternity was originally installed at Virginia Tech in 1980 and disbanded in 1996.
Triangle Fraternity was founded in 1907 at the University of Illinois. Today, more than 24,000 men have been initiated into the organization. The purpose of Triangle is to develop balanced men in the fields of engineering, architecture, and science by providing an environment that fosters personal growth and professional success.
