Tau Mu Epsilon Fraternity

University of Santo Tomas – Faculty of Engineering

In October 28, 1952, a group of dynamic and visionary Mechanical and Electrical Engineering students from the University of Santo Tomas shared a common dream — to build an organization that embodied brotherhood, equality, and camaraderie among Thomasian engineers.

Their goal was not just unity, but excellence — to cultivate potential, nurture talent, and produce highly skilled and competitive engineers who would stand out in society.

From this vision was born the Tau Mu Epsilon Fraternity of the UST Faculty of Engineering — the first duly recognized fraternity within the college.

Its name, drawn from the Greek alphabet, symbolizes the very essence of engineering:

Tau (Τ) – Torque, the rotational force in Mechanics.

Mu (Μ) – the coefficient of Friction in Physics.

Epsilon (Ε) – the Electromotive Force in Electrical Circuits.

Together, these symbols represent the Thomasian Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Fraternity — Tau Mu Epsilon.

Today, as we celebrate our 73rd Founding Anniversary, we honor the legacy built by our founders and continue to uphold the values they envisioned over seven decades ago.

Producing Good Thomasian Engineers. Making Thomasian Engineering Better.

🔶 Join the Brotherhood. Be Part of Tau Mu Epsilon.
🔸 For Thomasian Engineering Students — Excellence Starts Here.

In October 28 of 1952, a group of dynamic and vibrant Mechanical and Electrical engineering students from the University of Santo Tomas shared a common vision. This vision was the pioneering of an organization that would promote the true spirit of brotherhood, equality, and camaraderie among their peers. They aspired this fellowship to cultivate raw potential & hone the talents of their fellow members to produce highly competitive & skillful engineers for the society.

This brainchild gave birth to the Tau Mu Epsilon Fraternity of the U.S.T. Faculty of Engineering. The fraternity’s name was derived from the Greek alphabet, commonly used in the engineering curriculum. Tau (T) – the symbol for Torque, a rotational force in Mechanics; Mu (M) – in Physics, stood for the coefficient of friction; Epsilon (E) – symbol for Electromotive force in an electrical circuit. These three Greek letters became the acronym for the Thomasian Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Fraternity. The first duly recognized fraternity by the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Engineering.

Happy 71st Founding Anniversary Tau Mu Epsilon Fraternity
