Pi Tau Sigma Preamble:

​

“In order to establish a closer bond of fellowship which will result in mutual benefit to those men and women in the study and in the profession of mechanical engineering, who by their academic or practical achievements, manifest a real interest and marked ability in their chosen work, this constitution of the International Pi Tau Sigma Mechanical Engineering Honor Society was established.” 

 

What is Pi Tau Sigma?

​

Pi Tau Sigma is the International Honor Society for Mechanical Engineering Fraternity and is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies. The mission of Pi Tau Sigma is to "strive to create better engineers through commitment to academic excellence and dedication to service." Therefore, pledges of Pi Tau Sigma are selected based on engineering ability, scholarship service, leadership, and Integrity. After being initiated into Pi Tau Sigma, members hold core values of Integrity, Service, and Leadership. By maintaining Integrity, we have sound character and moral conduct. By serving others, we serve the mechanical engineering profession and community. By taking leadership, we professionally take the initiative by being an example. A total of 182 colligate chapters ran throughout the United States. Chapters are located at universities in almost every state in the United States. The concept of Pi Tau Sigma was initiated simultaneously at the University of Illinois and the University of Wisconsin in 1915. A year later, in 1916, these two schools officially formed Pi Tau Sigma. Purdue University and the University of Minnesota were chartered in 1922 and have expanded to the 159 established chapters. The Hawai'i Sigma Pi Chapter was chartered in January 1969 as the 89th currently active chapter in the nation.
