We’re glad you’re interested in joining Tau Beta Pi. The organization truly has a lot to offer.
One of the most important attributes is having strong character and integrity. Iowa Alpha determines this through our initiation process each semester. If you’re invited to join, you’ll find out more about how we evaluate these aspects of you.
The invitation to join results from your rank in engineering, as determined by your cumulative GPA.
