Theta Tau Coat of Arms

Welcome to Theta Tau Zeta Delta

Chartered on February 5, 2011, we are the coed professional engineering fraternity at the University of South Carolina, dedicated to developing leaders who excel in their careers while building lifelong friendships. Our brotherhood spans generations of engineers, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

We are a chapter of Theta Tau, the national fraternity for engineers. The purpose of Theta Tau is to develop and maintain a high standard of professional interest among its members, and to unite them in a strong bond of fraternal fellowship.
