General Information

Tau Pi Phi is a business honor society comprised of students studying in the Department of Economics, Management and Accounting. Membership in the honorary is open to those students who have:

• completed at least 15 hours of EMA courses with a 3.2 GPA, and
• earned a 3.2 overall GPA.

Initiation ceremonies are generally held once each semester. Students who meet the above criteria should contact the EMA Department secretary in the Department Office (Thomas 122) early in the semester to be considered for initiation to Tau Pi Phi.

One of the highlights of Tau Pi Phi membership is the opportunity to collaborate with other Marietta College Tau Pi Phi members on one of two teams invited to participate in the annual national Tau Pi Phi case study competition.

Annual Case Competition

Each year all Tau Pi Phi chapters are invited to assemble two teams of students to compete in the Annual Case Competition. Students gather for two days, usually in late March or early April, for the opportunity to analyze and present their recommendations on two business cases. The weekend concludes on Saturday evening with a banquet honoring the case winners and celebrating the work of all teams. For more information on the competition, please contact Tau Pi Phi advisor Prof. Jeremy Wang at ext. 4473, or send him an e-mail message.
