Triangle's Influence on Personality
One thing that many members of Triangle will tell you is that we are "a fraternity of non-fraternity people." We don't brim full of the stereotypical "frat-boy" qualities. If we did, it's a good bet that our members would not enjoy the success that we spoke about in the academic section of this letter. If we did, it's also a good bet that we would not be able to brag about the great friendships that we form with each other. We do not encourage a "100% Triangle, 0% everything else" attitude, as many people fear when dealing with fraternities. Members' friends and relatives are guests in our house on a daily basis. Every new member learns personal and background information about all the members of the house. We encourage outside involvement as a means of further rounding out a member's life. Current Triangle members have been involved in Illini Pride, Orange Krush, Engineering Council, Air Force ROTC, Illini Paintball Warriors, Dancing Illini, Illectric Illini, Marching Illini, Kolusis, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Eta Kappa Nu (an Electrical and Computer Engineering honor society), Tau Beta Pi (a College of Engineering honor society), ACM, and IEEE.
We hope that the information provided on this page helps you to resolve some of the concerns you may have about Triangle Fraternity and the prospect of your son becoming a member. As before, we encourage you to contact us with any unresolved issues or questions that you have.
Best Regards,
The Active and Alumni Members of the Illinois Chapter of Triangle Fraternity
