About Triangle
It was in the fall of 1906 that sixteen civil engineering juniors at the University of Illinois began the association that became Triangle Fraternity. These Founders based their organization on the principles of honor, friendship, character, brotherhood, and courage. They developed their plans quickly, and on April 15, 1907, incorporated Triangle in the State of Illinois.
The chapter at Ohio State was founded on February 2, 1911 as the third chapter nationwide. While the fraternity was originally only open to men studying civil engineering, the organization eventually expanded to a social fraternity for engineers, architects, and scientists. Our purpose is to develop balanced men who cultivate high moral character, foster lifelong friendships and lead lives of integrity. We offer countless leadership opportunities, avenues for community service, scholarships, and much more. Triangle provides a bridge between academic life and a career as well as a foundation for success in the years after college.
