Rush is a great opportunity to learn about Theta Tau and meet the brothers of our fraternity. Throughout the week, we host events that showcase our values, community, and what it means to be part of Theta Tau. By connecting with brothers and joining our activities, you’ll discover whether our fraternity is the right fit for you. We can’t wait to meet you at Rush!
Theta Tau is the largest and oldest co-ed engineering fraternity in the United States, with our chapter in Buffalo being established in 2003. As a professional fraternity, Theta Tau accepts undergraduate engineering and computer science majors of all genders. We hold events both within and outside of our fraternity to uphold our three pillars of brotherhood, service, and professionalism. And we would love to have you rush for Theta Tau!
You must attend at least 3 events, where at least one of them must be an info session to qualify for a bid!

Theta Tau is a co-ed professional engineering fraternity built on Brotherhood, Professional Development, and Service. We unite engineers through strong bonds of friendship and shared professional growth.
Rushing is when potential members meet the brotherhood and learn about Theta Tau through recruitment events. At the end of rush, select students receive bids inviting them to join as pledges.
Only those pursuing a bachelors degree in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences or SEAS with a minimum GPA of 2.5 at the University at Buffalo are eligible to rush for UB’s Theta Tau chapter.
After receiving a bid, a rushee enters the Potential New Member Program, a semester-long process designed to integrate you into the brotherhood. Through events and activities, potential new members bond with their class and get to know all active members of the brotherhood.
Because many students rush Theta Tau each semester, receiving a bid can be competitive. Each potential new member is evaluated on qualities such as personality, professionalism, and overall fit within our brotherhood. We encourage you to talk with as many brothers as possible to see if our community is the right match for you socially and professionally.
