Triangle competes in many intramural sports, including ultimate Frisbee, volleyball, and slow-pitch softball.

Recognizing the expense in attending a university, the Triangle Education Foundation has established a scholarship and loan program for members of the fraternity. These programs are made possible through the generous donations of Triangle alumni.

Each year the Foundation awards over $10,000 in scholarship and fellowship grants. The awards are paid out of the income generated by endowed funds. A minimum GPA of 3.0/4.0 is necessary for consideration.

The Rust Scholarship
Awards $5,500 annually based on a combination of need, grades and participation in campus and Triangle Activities. All other things being equal, preference is given to applicants in the core engineering disciplines or "hard" sciences.

The Triangle Education Foundation, through the generosity of Alumni brothers and others, is able to make a limited number of loans each year to deserving Active members of Triangle Fraternity to help them complete their education. Currently, $12,000 is available per year; the year begins on July 1.

Applicants submit the application forms, a current transcript, and two letters of recommendation. An applicant may borrow up to $3000. No interest is charged, but the borrower is invited to make a contribution of any amount he may choose with or following his last payment to help perpetuate and enlarge the Foundation loan program. Payments commence after graduation or leaving school.

Loan applicants shall: a.) be Active members of Triangle Fraternity who are enrolled in a course of study leading to a degree; b.) shall have completed at least two full academic years of school; c.) shall be within two academic years of graduation, and; d.) shall have maintained, as of time of application, the minimum scholastic average required for graduation in their chosen majors.

Foundation funds available to Triangle members are the result of the donations of many groups and individuals, and represent their willingness to help fellow Triangles. Prompt repayment of loans will enable the Foundation to continue and expand assistance of this kind.
