To Better the Man.
The Alpha Tau Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi at Stevens Institute of Technology — nearly a century of brotherhood on Castle Point.
A brotherhood of engineers, builders, and leaders on Castle Point.
Since 1926, Alpha Tau has shaped Stevens men through the principles of silence, charity, purity, honor, and patriotism. We are scholars first, brothers always, and Alpha Sigs for life.
A Fraternity founded upon the values of character.
Our Values, once secret but made public in 2006, are what make us unique. Our Values call us to better ourselves through our actions and words. These are the values that we espouse:
Silence
He has the strength to embrace silence and the will to build an interior life founded upon an honest desire to truly listen to others. Trust in silence transcends the gulf that is created when men feel the need to compete in action or rhetoric. He is introspective and self-reliant.
Charity
He is charitable in the broadest sense of the word. A man who strives for a life of charity and service is more patient, kinder, and more forgiving of the flaws of others. A charitable man sacrifices of himself to help others and seeks no recognition in return. He is humble, reverent, and generous.
Purity
He consistently strives for purity of mind, body, and soul. The man who is pure of thought, word, and deed does not shrink from adversity or lofty goals. There is no self-pity, rationalizations, or apologies. He is moral and a gentleman in the finest sense of the word.
Honor
He lives a life of personal integrity, thereby accruing honor. An honorable man lives up to promises made to others and to himself. A man of honor is not vain, and is willing to endure scorn or ostracism rather than conform to the pressures of peers, superiors, or the fashion of the day. He is ethical, honest, and trustworthy.
Patriotism
He loves his country, remaining consistently engaged in its affairs. He seeks to know his country and to pass that knowledge on to others. He is devoted to the principles of personal freedom, justice, and civic responsibility embedded in the U.S. Constitution that have made our country. He is loyal, proud, and humble.
Building a culture that gives back.
