Tau Alpha (τα) is one of the oldest fraternities in the University of the Philippines. Originally named Mu Epsilon and founded on 27 June 1931, Tau Alpha was officially recognized as a College fraternity the following year, 1932.

Tau Alpha, The Argonauts, enjoys a continuous relation with the University of the Philippines. From its inception in the original campus location in Padre Faura, to the Diliman Campus after the second world war, Tau Alpha has and always been associated with the University of the Philippines College of Engineering. UP Diliman is the only chapter.

History

Tau Alpha was founded at the old UP campus in Padre Faura. At the beginning, membership was intended to be confined to Manila students.

On UP's Centennial Year, Tau Alpha gifted UP its Centennial Song, UP Ang Galing Mo, composed by Herbert A. Rosales '61,[1] and the UP Centennial Cauldron designed by Joel L. Ajero '66A. The Centennial Cauldron features three pillars representing the three core values of the University, and seven flowers that stand for the seven constituent universities in the UP system." The Centennial Cauldron was lit by then UP President Emerlinda Roman igniting the "perpetual flame” on the Centennial Cauldron that signaled the start of UP's year-long centennial celebration.[2]
