Where Are All of the IT Fraternities?

Posted by Cliff on from the professional-brotherhood dept.

SteakandcheeseUm asks: "Upon meandering around the net today, I was displeased to find that there seems to be a lack of professional academic fraternities that are dedicated to Information Technology or Computer Forensics students. Has anyone here ever come upon a group that does such a thing? Would anyone be interested in joining if one were to be founded?"

    From Wikipedia:

    Lambda Lambda Lambda, is our fraternity; We are her royal subjects, and she is our queen bee. We have no groups excluded, we don't discriminate; We just ask that you keep your G-P-A at 3.8

    The first Revenge of the Nerds was great, but did they really need four?

    Also known as HKN is a mix between a co-ed social fraternity and a student organization for Electrical and Computer Engineers. One must pledge to join, must be at least a Junior, and must be above a certain class rank. The organization has been around for over 100 years. My chapter (Beta Chapter at Purdue), was an underground society for a period of time. We run the lounge and snackbar in the EE building at Purdue, perform community service, have get togethers most fridays, have professionals come in and speak to us. It is quite an active organization, found at most top engineering schools. Remember, HKN, "The Nice Guys".
