History

Epsilon Nu Tau was founded on April 18, 2008, by seven students at the University of Dayton.[1] It was founded by seven students, including James Wolf who was its first president.[3] Its purpose is to promote ethics in business and to teach its members professionalism.[3]

The fraternity started as a coeducational group with forty members.[3] From the beginning, its members planned on adding additional chapters.[3] The Beta chapter was added at Texas State University in 2010.[4] This was followed by Gamma at California State University, Fullerton and Delta at Seton Hall University, also in 2010.[5][6]

Epsilon Nu Tau joined the Professional Fraternity Association in 2015.[7]
