Students as General Members

Students in colleges and universities form a large segment of Epsilon Pi Tau General Members. Epsilon Pi Tau recognition provides a unique identity. It recognizes students’ academic and leadership accomplishments and reinforces identity with their programs in technology. Members benefit from lifelong services and Epsilon Pi Tau’s continuing general work in support of the technology professions. 

Honor societies that serve the general student population exist on some campuses. In such cases, students elected to Epsilon Pi Tau membership will usually be invited to also join the more general honor society on campus. If possible, students should accept such honors because there is no conflict between the honors groups. Being honored by more than one group multiplies the reward and recognition of achievement.
