Stuart first became involved with Triangle in Winter 2007 helping to establish Triangle as an interest group at UCI.

John C. Cottage Jr. joined the Penn State Chapter of Triangle Fraternity in the Fall of 2003 and was initiated in the Spring of 2004. While at Penn State John served as the Undergrad President in 2007 leading the chapter in its celebration of the Centennial. 

After leaving Penn State, John created a web development company with another brother from the chapter. In 2009 John took a job working for a regional high school doing desktop support and systems administration. 

In 2011 John transitioned into the role of Network Administrator for the Bergen County School District and in 2013 was promoted to Network Architect.  In 2017 John left public service and joined the IT consulting firm CDI, LLC where he specializes in WAN, Data Center and Network Security design.

Fareed John Dibazar joined the UC-San Diego Chapter of Triangle Fraternity in the Fall of 2011 (on a dare) and was initiated Winter of 2012. While at UC-San Diego, Fareed served in a number of roles including Vice President-External, New Member Educator, and Director of Philanthropy in the undergraduate organization. As an alumnus, Fareed has served as the Active Chapter Advisor for 8 years and Vice President of the Alumni organization, including during the recent recolonization efforts at UC-San Diego.

Fareed’s desire to serve on council stems from witnessing the growth and leadership development in his own chapter’s brothers firsthand. As a warm start chapter, UCSD Triangle went through a number of growing pains and rapid expansion followed by a near-total dissolution of the chapter in just 8 years since its 2009 founding. Having rushed late in his college career (as a Junior), Fareed helped grow his chapter to successive double-digit classes in his time as an active, though not without learning harsh truths on chapter sustainability, the importance of transitions, and internal stability and development of chapter culture.

With the Chapter nearly dissolved in 2017, Fareed and a number of local alumni were able to help maintain Triangle’s presence on-campus at UCSD while recruiting what would become the recolonizing classes (with further lessons learned such as the limitations and benefits of having late 20/early 30-year-olds recruiting undergraduates). In 2022, after 4 years of attempts at a restart and starting the school year with just 1 new member, UCSD’s active colony boasted 700% growth by year’s-end. Fareed has also been integral in maintaining an alumni presence and formalizing an alumni board for the San Diego region (building one from scratch).

At convention in 2019, Fareed presented a formal plea to Nationals to assist with the Southern California chapters, particularly spurred by UCSD’s then-likely disappearance. Since then, Fareed has been plugged in with the National organization at a higher level of engagement than he himself personally expected (forgetting that he had joined the Council of Emerging Leaders in 2017). From these experiences, Fareed hopes to pass on what he has learned to help chapters prevent common mistakes of the past while also linking the greater national organization to some of the problems currently facing chapters on-the-ground.

Lucas pledged the Kansas Chapter of Triangle in the fall of 2010 and was initiated in spring of 2011. He attended his first national event (Convention) in the summer of 2011 and gained an entirely new understanding of what Triangle was and could be. He returned to his chapter where he served as treasurer for the chapter in 2012 and 2013, along with continued attendance and participation in national events.

After graduation from KU, he worked for Union Pacific Railroad for two years in the KC area where he continued to help advise the Kansas Chapter.  He then relocated to Wisconsin where he stayed for 1 year before leaving to attend grad school for Construction Engineering Management at The University of Colorado. He has been working for Shaw Construction since graduating at the end of 2018.

During his time since becoming a Triangle alumnus, he has been fortunate enough to continue to meet new brothers from different chapters along with maintaining relationships with brothers from his own chapter and several others that he met since the first national event he attended 12 years ago.

Nationally, he has served as the chairman of Triangle’s Council of Emerging Leaders, and looks forward to contributing what he can to National Council.

Jackson initiated into the Louisville Chapter of Triangle in 2021. He is pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering with a minor in Biology and will graduate in May of 2025. He plans to pursue a Masters Degree as well with a focus in Environmental Engineering and enter into the field of Stream Restoration.

As an undergraduate, Jackson completed his co-ops at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District working in Environmental Engineering and Dam Safety. He currently works in his school’s hydrology lab, tracing sources of sediment that flows through local streams.

As an active member, Jackson has held many positions in Triangle, including brotherhood chair, development chair, VP of Membership, Leadership Advantage Coordinator, President, and Standards Board. His short term as President saw significant increases in GPA, as well as involvement inside and outside the chapter, which were all contributing factors in Louisville’s 2024 Chapter of the Year award. Jackson plans to use this position to give more undergraduates a voice in operation of the fraternity, as well as making more chapters aware of resources Triangle HQ may have to offer.
