Networking
An important part of finding employment (as an intern, at graduation and years later) is networking with other professionals in your field. Triangle obviously is a better source for this networking among engineers than any other college organization or living unit. Members often get job leads from internet postings from Triangles that know of job openings. Membership in Triangle is a very helpful item to include on your resume. Sometimes the job interviewer or co-workers are Triangle alumni.

Location, Space, Cost
Our Fraternity House at 519 N. 16th Street is in the heart of Greek Row Our house has the capacity for 64 men and we have been that size in the past. We look forward to growing into our new chapter home. Our rooms are comparable to most other fraternities and never more than 2 men to a room.. Our dining room and living room are among the largest of all fraternities. The cost of living at Triangle is thousands of dollars less than the dorms and below most other fraternities.

Focus
The organization is designed for engineering students and other STEM majors. You can easily get help for your academic work. Every member is in a technical major and is willing to help. We curate a database of who took what courses previously. Often a person that took the class the year before can help with questions you have about class content or even which professors are best for which classes..

True Brotherhood
Triangle has a national policy against hazing. It is the only national fraternity of our size that has never in its history had a major insurance claim because of hazing or alcohol. Every member and pledge is treated with respect and dignity. Our organization is truly about being supportive of each other.

Triangle is the only national fraternity that limits it membership to Engineers, Architects and Scientists. Founded in 1907 with local groups of students now on 37 campuses, we have about 1100 student members and more than 18,000 living alumni members, many of whom are in a position to help you in your academic and professional career.

Engineering leadership
Being involved in student activities within the College of Engineering is where Triangle excels. The majority of leadership positions of ASME, IEEE, E-Week, etc have often been Triangle members. Extra-curricular activity involvement is an important factor to employers.
