Tau Phi Beta was founded at Southern Connecticut University in 1985. They then began a chapter at William Paterson University in 1987. Montclair's chapter was founded in 1991. Since its founding, it has grown into one of the
top fraternities at Montclair State University.
Tau Phi Beta's orginial colors were
black, red, and gold. When a chapter was founded at
William Paterson, The colors were changed to
black and silver. The brothers of Tau Phi Beta are known as the Bulls as well as The Fun Bunch. Tau Phi Beta was founded by business majors. Since the stock market is also termed the "Bull" market, the name
fit. The Fun Bunch is an acronym for the Greek letters Tau Phi Beta.
The Bulls root itself in personal growth and value of its brothers. It keeps its numbers small, believing in quality, not quantity. It is one of the few local fraternities left at Montclair State University and is both a social and philantropical fraternity. It participates in Greek Week, Homecoming, fundraisers, as well as on and off campus events.
The Bulls
run their pledge program in order to teach its members to only
respect those who give
respect. Another reason it keeps its numbers low is to ensure that each
brother knows each other. It is one of the few fraternities left that pledges on line.
