A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Carter Austin (B.S. Mechanical Engineering '25)
Welcome to the homepage of the Eta Delta Chapter of Theta Tau. As the premier professional co-ed engineering fraternity on campus, we strive to provide professionally enriching, service-oriented, and socially engaging experiences and opportunities. We are a tight-knit community of engineers not only empowered to excel in our academic lives but also to grow into well-rounded stewards of our fraternity values with the intrinsic motivation to serve our community and beyond. I am honored to have the privilege of leading our chapter this fall, and I invite you to explore our page to learn more about the work we do.

WHAT WE VALUE
Since our foundation, we’ve been proud to attract and welcome smart, caring, and innovative leaders who are dedicated to giving back to the community, developing the best versions of their professional selves, and creating meaningful bonds with each other.
SERVICE
Theta Tau at UMD strives to improve not only the University of Maryland but the surrounding DC Metro area as well. Over the past few years, the chapter has raised over $15,000 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), facilitated the INOVA blood drive at UMD, served with Habitat for Humanity in Flagler Beach, FL, among countless other drives, fundraisers, and community cleanup events.
PROFESSIONALISM
Throughout the year, we serve not only our members but the greater Clark School community by hosting information sessions, resume critiques, interview prep, alumni networking events, and presentations on a variety of topics. Professional development is based in personal development, so Theta Tau provides critical opportunities for current and former members to assist each other in finding and following their own paths to impact change within the greater field of engineering and social good.
BROTHERHOOD
Beyond our community outreach and professional development opportunities, we are a family of highly involved, fun-loving, and adventurous engineers. While engineering can be difficult or mentally taxing, we form lasting bonds and friendships to create a supportive community to make the University of Maryland feel a little bit smaller.
