Massachusetts Gamma Chapter charter was withdrawn in 1938 when undergraduate engineering instruction at Harvard University was no longer offered.
North Carolina Beta's charter was withdrawn in 1938 when all undergraduate engineering curricula were transferred from the University of North Carolina to North Carolina State University where a chapter was already in existence.
New York Epsilon and New York Zeta Chapters were merged into the New York Rho Chapter on May 26, 1974, after their original harboring institutions, the School of Engineering and Science of New York University and the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, were merged into the Polytechnic Institute of New York.
Colorado Gamma Chapter surrendered its charter on May 30, 1975, when the University of Denver ceased offering engineering education.
California Pi Chapter returned its charter on December 31, 1991, when Northrop University closed its doors.
New York Lambda's charter was withdrawn in 1993 when Pratt Institute ceased offering engineering education.

Collegiate Chapter Organization

Collegiate chapters are administered by a corps of officers including a president, vice president, recording secretary, corresponding secretary, treasurer, and cataloger, all of whom must be active members of the chapter, although not necessarily undergraduates. An Advisory Board consisting of thepresident, vice president, and corresponding secretary of the chapter and four alumni members of the Association (usually faculty) selected by the student members acts in ajudiciary capacity at the local level. The president is usually a chapter's delegate to the Convention, the Association's governing body which meets annually. Collegiate chapters draw up their bylaws which set out, in further detail than is covered by the Association's Constitution and Bylaws, operating procedures followed by the local group.

Requirements for New Collegiate Chapters

Charters for new collegiate chapters are granted only by a three-fourths favorable vote of the Convention. Recommended minimum qualifications of petitioning groups and their institutions, as set forth in Tau Beta Pi's Bylaws, are as follows:

• That the institution grant 40 or more engineering bachelor's degrees a year.
• That three engineering curricula be accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, unless the institution offers a "unified" curriculum or unless all curricula are accredited.
• That the petitioning group have been organized and operating as a local society along Tau Beta Pi lines for two years.
• That at least three members of the faculty be members of Tau Beta Pi.
• That a majority of the engineering faculty be members of their respective national technical societies.

Alumni Chapter Organization & Establishment

Alumni chapters are composed of alumni members who join together to advance the causes of the engineering profession, to be of service to local members of the Association and to the membership of neighboring collegiate chapters, and to advance the principles and ideals of Tau Beta Pi. The chapters are self-governing as far as does not conflict with the Constitution and Bylaws of the Association. They are known by the name of the city or area in which they are located. Each alumni chapter is entitled to be represented by one or more delegates at the annual Convention, and, if represented, is entitled to one vote in the Convention.

New alumni chapters may be chartered by the Executive Council when written application is made by at least ten alumni members of the Association.

Districts

Schemes for organizing Tau Beta Pi's chapters by districts had been suggested for many years before a specific plan was presented to the 1975 Convention. The plan was approved for a three-year trial and, following its success on an experimental basis, was formally adopted by the 1978 Convention. The need for districting was evident as the number of chapters increased and it became impossible for a few Association Officials to pay regular chapter visits. District Directors, located close to their relatively small number of chapters, now supply thefrequent personal relationship that is a necessary ingredient for the health of the chapters.

Under the plan the Executive Council created 15 geographical districts and assigned each collegiate and alumni chapter to the appropriate one. District 16 was established in 1999. Activities under the leadership of the District Directors have included visits to chapters, District conferences for chapter representatives, publication of District newsletters, and meetings of District delegates at the annual Convention. The focus of District programming is to strengthen the collegiate chapters and to enlist the interest and aid of alumni members in their work.Training student officers in chapter management and overcoming the effects of discontinuity in chapter membership arising from rapid student turnover are examples of specific programming.

With adoption of the District Program, the former offices of Director of Alumni Affairs and Director of Chapter Development were eliminated, and their duties were transferred to the District Directors or the Headquarters staff. District Map (clickable version)
