Becoming a member of UR's NYP chapter of Tau Beta Pi requires meeting of the two primary criteria of Tau Beta Pi: distinguished scholarship and exemplary character.
At UR, individuals are invited to join after meeting each of the two criteria required. Students become eligible first for distinguished scholarship by GPA rankings in their respective class. The top 1/5th of 4th year level students and top 1/8th of 3rd year level students are eligible as determined by the Tau Beta Pi constitution and bylaws and chapter bylaws. Additionally, students are judged for exemplary character through character evaluations performed prior to invitation to join. Provided the executive board of the chapter deems the individual acceptable in both cases, they become eligible to join.
For questions regarding eligibility, please contact us at taubetapinyk@gmail.com.
