The EPT Emblem

The name, EPSILON PI TAU, is derived from the initial letters of the Greek names of the three precepts on which the society was founded. These are Technological Capability and Skill or TEXNIKH, Social and Professional Proficiency or PRAGMATEIA, and Research and its Applications and Products, or EXETASIS.

The emblem of Epsilon Pi Tau is an equilateral triangle. The sides of the triangle are bars inscribed with the Greek names of the three precepts, TEXNIKH, PRAGMATEIA, and EXETASIS. The bars are joined at the apices of the triangle by pins. At the head of each of the three pins will be one of the three Greek letter initials of each precept name.

The EPT Colors:

  • Blue signifies TEXNIKH or technological capability and skill.
  • White is for PRAGMATEIA or social and professional proficiency.
  • Gold stands for EXETASIS or research, and its applications and products.
