            <head>History of the Sigma Tau Fraternity Omega Chapter (University of Wyoming)</head>
            <p>Zeta Phi Fraternity for outstanding engineering students was formed in the spring of
                1921. In 1931 a petition was organized in order to join the National Fraternity of
                Sigma Tau. The petition was granted in December 1931. On January 13, 1932 thirteen
                Zeta Phi members were inducted into Sigma Tau.</p>
            <p>Sigma Tau was founded at the University of Nebraska on February 22, 1904 and is a
                National Engineers Honor Society. Members of Sigma Tau have to rank in the top third
                of their class and be a junior or senior in good standing. The University of Wyoming
                chapter was formed in 1932.</p>
