Tau Beta Pi is the nation’s oldest engineering honor society in the United States, and the second oldest Greek letter honor society following Phi Beta Kappa in the liberal arts. The society was founded in 1885 at Lehigh University and is the only engineering honor society to represent the entire engineering profession.
Tau Beta Pi’s public motto of “Integrity and Excellence in Engineering” serves as the founding principle for the organization. Currently, there are 242 active collegiate chapters of which Arkansas Alpha is the 28th oldest. The chapter is active in community service projects and promoting leadership in all disciplines of engineering.
