Engineering Clubs
Phi Sigma Rho
Phi Sigma Rho is a sorority for women in engineering and technical science majors. We are a group of women who want to succeed academically but are also interested in the social aspects of a traditional sorority. In other words, its the best mix of school and sorority life for women in engineering and technical science majors. We have fun activities such as social events and a retreat each semester where we bond over our shared love and stress of our chosen majors.

Queer STEM Club (QSTEM)
In this club, members will discuss and find support for any academic or social hardships they face because of their queer identities, learn about scholarships and opportunities for LGBT+ students in STEM, discuss LGBT+ history and culture (with a focus on people/events in STEM), and receive general academic and social support/advice.
Our main way of interaction/communication is on our Discord server. View our external site here to join Discord.
Though the club will have a heavy emphasis on STEM subjects, any interested person of any major can join.

Tau Beta Pi
Idaho Gamma Chapter
The Boise State Tau Beta Pi Chapter was established on March 13th, 2010. With over 100 members, it is a growing group of the best engineering students in and from Boise State University. Being invited to join the Idaho Gamma Chapter as a junior means you are in the top 12.5% of your class of all engineering majors. Being invited as a senior means you are in the top 20%. Beyond engineering, Tau Beta Pi is committed to community service and several volunteer opportunities, as well as social events, are held throughout the school year for the members and potential initiates.
Tau Beta Pi was founded at Lehigh University in 1885 making it the second oldest honor society in the nation. Its continued efforts at creating a tight knit community for engineering students of distinguished scholarship and exemplary character for over 100 years makes it the oldest and most prestigious Engineering Honor Society in the nation. Tau Beta Pi is also the only Engineering Honor Society that represents all fields of the engineering profession. Tau Beta Pi has created an environment in which engineering students can be acknowledged for their hard work and also allows students to form more connections with employers and luminaries in the area. Joining Tau Beta Pi means becoming part of an organization that is bigger than any one person or university. With over 200 chapters, Tau Bates initiate into an active network of information and support.
