Origins

Beta Tau Omega was founded at Texas A&M University on August 28, 1995, by twelve outstanding men. The twelve founders were inspired by the idea of bringing brotherhood among Asian Americans to the Bryan/College Station area. With their high-set goals in mind, the twelve forged a path to excellence; a code that all of the fraternity's members would follow. In this code were vows of brotherhood, service to one's community, chivalry, passion for leadership, and enlightenment about Asian American culture.     

Three words stood above all others: Wisdom, Honor, and Courage

For over a decade, Beta Tau Omega has thrived at the Texas A&M campus by following these principles, bringing hundreds of young men of every imaginable background together in the name of brotherhood. Since its founding, Beta Tau Omega has been a pillar of the Asian American community at Texas A&M and remains one of the few Asian Interest Fraternities in Texas to be continuously recognized by its school since it was founded.
