Trigon
Trigon Engineering Society (Trigon or ΓΔΕ) is a local, coeducational college fraternity founded at the University of Virginia on November 3, 1924. Originally called the Delta Society, Trigon began as a political organization to increase the effectiveness of student-run government at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science. It held its first official meeting in Room 17 West Lawn. Room 17 is now reserved each year for a member of the Society, making Trigon one of five student organizations that the University of Virginia has recognized as sufficiently important to the University and the community to merit the creation of an endowed Lawn room. The Society now functions as a social and professional fraternity of engineering students. Since its founding, Trigon has initiated over 1000 members.
