From Humble Beginnings Come Great Things
Triangle’s beginnings came from the desire of some congenial college friends to extend their friendship, not only through college, but also for life. 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, courage, and ideals. They developed their plans quickly, and on April 15, 1907, incorporated Triangle in the State of Illinois. The date of incorporation has been designated as Founders’ Day, and Triangle appropriately celebrates it every year at each chapter.
Since then, Triangle has expanded far and wide across universities throughout the nation, with the name “Triangle” representing the strength of that shape used in design work in the field of civil engineering. It is the only social fraternity exclusively for men majoring in engineering, architecture, and the sciences, and one of 3 men’s social fraternities that does not use traditional Greek letters.

Colonization at Georgia Tech
|
On March 7th, 2014, the Georgia Tech chapter of Triangle Fraternity was incorporated. It seemed only logical for the premier society for men in engineering, architecture and science to have a presence on the campus of one of the premier engineering institutions in the world. On that day, a group of men looking for a change; and unconventional Greek life experience, became the founding fathers of Triangle Fraternity at Georgia Tech. Since then, Triangle brothers have found themselves plugged in to every facet of campus life and leadership.
