What is Tau Theta Pi?

Tau Theta Pi is an academic, social, and philanthropic sorority that does not tie itself to one cause or purpose because we believe that being a well-rounded individual is essential to being a woman of character and strength. We pride ourselves on being called the “anti-sorority sorority," because, prior to knowing about Tau Theta Pi, the vast majority of us did not want to join a sorority. However, the genuine sisterhood does not follow the mold of stereotypical sororities, and thus, the appeal stems from the idea that there is no single “type” of girl that represents a sister of Tau Theta Pi.

We are a multi-cultural sorority. Tau Theta Pi harbors arguably the most diverse group of women in any sorority. Although many sisters come from Chinese, Hispanic, Indian, Caucasian, Filipino, African American, Vietnamese, Korean, and French decent, the diversity stems beyond our ethnic backgrounds. Majors range from Business to Architecture to Journalism to Engineering, and activities from Program Board to UNICEF. The fusion of our individual interests and personalities creates a synergy that enhances the strength of our sisterhood and the development of each individual sister. For this reason, we can truly say: "My Letters Are My Sisters."

Mission Statement

It is the ardent desire of the honorable women of Tau Theta Pi to form and maintain a genuine sisterhood that exemplifies moral excellence, strength, versatility, and open-mindedness. As an organization rooted in strength through diversity, it is our goal to unify women of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds. We hope to accomplish this goal by means of promoting academic achievement, active involvement in the community, and the forging of the tightly knit bond between sisters. It is also our hope to foster personal growth by making lasting impressions in our community, at school, within our organization and within ourselves, ultimately enriching the college experience.
