Phi Epsilon History

In the summer of 2017, Eric Hoang had the idea to develop a second home for the engineers on our campus. Hoang embarked on this journey with two other founding members, Alvin Tran and Justin Albano, to start a professional co-ed engineering fraternity at California State University, Fullerton. Once the fall semester started, Hoang, Tran, and Albano set up an interest meeting to find other students with the same goal. When a small group was established, his next step was to register the official club at Cal State Fullerton as Upsilon Theta Tau.

They participated and hosted events related to improving the lifestyle of on-campus engineering and the three core values of Theta Tau. During the six-month waiting period, Hoang recruited a team of engineering and computer science students to join the new organization. Upsilon Theta Tau was officially installed as a colony on April 28th, 2018. Two years and three pledge classes later, CSUF Theta Tau was established as the Phi Epsilon Chapter on February 22, 2020.

“Let’s create our legacy, etched into history, for all of eternity”

National History

Theta Tau is the nation's oldest and foremost co-ed professional engineering fraternity. Founded in 1904 at the University of Minnesota by four mining and engineering students, Theta Tau was intended to be a medium for which such students could unite in professional fraternal fellowship. With emphasis on quality and a strong fraternal bond, the Fraternity has chapters only at ABET accredited schools and programs. As of today, over 40,000 students have been initiated as life-long members of Theta Tau at over 80 colleges and universities across the United States.
