Tau Beta Pi - Bent Monument

Before 1957, each chapter made its own pattern for a metal Bent, at considerable expense. If your chapter is interested in casting your own Bent, please . Currently, TBP Headquarters owns a wood pattern for a 4-foot-high solid Bent, a gift from the dean of engineering at Purdue University. Our vendor offers a four-foot unpolished Bent and recently started offering an 18" unpolished and 18" polished Bent. The chapter is responsible for the base on which these Bents are mounted.

This document refers to the bent as being constructed out of red brass (85% Cu, 5% Pb, 5% Sn, 5% Zn), however they are now constructed from everdur (95% Cu, 4% Si, 1% Mn).
