Why Triangle?

Dear Triangle Brothers & Friends,

I am often asked as a non-member, why did I choose to work for Triangle Education Foundation. I attribute it to two main reasons. The first is the belief in the mission of the Foundation; the second is the broad based support from the members of Triangle.

I have often said that Triangle’s place on a college campus is needed today more then ever. Our young people are in need of a values based learning experience. One that challenges them to define their own ethics, and then put it into practice as a leader.
As much as we would like to think the student newspaper or the physics club on campus can provide these same types of experiences, the fact is they do not. Today’s fraternities and sororities are the only living, learning leadership laboratories on campus.

You can’t escape the daily lessons you learn from living with a group of men, working together for a common goal and united under a shared vision. We are developing tomorrow’s leaders. Our future political officials, corporate executives and community activists will be the young people we train today.

I am not the only one who believes in the mission of Triangle. In examining the support Triangle receives from its members, we excel in all areas. Triangle is #1 in percentage of members who support Triangle financially on a yearly basis. We also are well above the industry average in the amount of financial support the Foundation provides its members. Below is how well Triangle shakes out compared to other the other fraternities.

I am proud of my involvement with Triangle. I am confident we are providing Triangle members the opportunity to excel as leaders with character and integrity. I continue to look forward to meeting Triangles from across the country.

As always, thank you to all our members and donors who give of their time, talent and treasure to make Triangle a quality learning experience for our members.

Sincerely,

Scott E. Bova, CFRE
President, Triangle Education Foundation
