The first fraternity recognized on the UMBC campus was Tau Upsilon in 1969. Tau Upsilon was a chapter of the national drama honors fraternity, Alpha Psi Omega. Members of this first fraternity included both males and females who were working in areas of drama on campus. To become members of the fraternity students were required to have performed both a major and minor role in a theater production as well as worked as a member of the stage crew for at least one production.
