We are united by
Friendship
It is the basis of our brotherhood. Because of it, we accomplish far more than we do as individuals. Friendship is the sweetest influence.
Phi Gamma Delta
Tau Nu Chapter at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Since 2014, our brothers have lived in the First Baptist Church of Troy, a downtown landmark where Samuel Wilson, the original Uncle Sam, once served as a trustee.
Brothers since 1984
Tau Nu began as the local fraternity Alpha Beta Gamma and joined Phi Gamma Delta in 1984. Today our brothers are active all over RPI, from Student Government to Rensselaer Endurance Motorsport.
Not for college days alone
Every fall, graduate brothers come home to Troy for Grad Weekend and the Frank A.P. Norris Pig Dinner, the oldest annual alumni event in the Greek world.
Our Mission
Phi Gamma Delta unites men in enduring friendships, stimulates the pursuit of knowledge, and builds courageous leaders who serve the world with the best that is in them.
Our Vision
To be an active vital force of men who courageously live our values and make a positive impact on college and community.
Our Core Values
The pursuit of
Knowledge
It is the key to a fuller, richer life. We gain it through education, the harmonious development of the powers of the individual.
We encourage
Service
We have the ability, the opportunity and the duty to serve our fellow human beings. Our reward is the satisfaction that comes from serving.
We believe in
Morality
As gentlemen of quality, we must do what is right as individuals and as a group. Moral behavior is the basis of society's existence.
We strive for
Excellence
It is attained only when we fulfill our potential. Mankind benefits when each of us becomes all that we can.
