Fraternities
[edit]Active fraternities
[edit]The governing body of all fraternities is the Inter-Fraternity Council.[1]
- Acacia, founded on April 10, 1949
- Alpha Chi Rho (ΑΧΡ; Crows), Delta Phi chapter, founded on October 23, 1948
- Alpha Epsilon Pi (ΑΕΠ), Rho Pi chapter, founded in 1951
- Alpha Phi Alpha (ΑΦΑ)
- Alpha Phi Omega (ΑΦΩ), Epsilon Zeta chapter (co-ed, not in IFC), founded on May 11, 1947[2] Serves as RPI's premier co-ed service fraternity. APO runs services out of their office on the third floor of the Student Union including Lost & Found, back exams, 3D printing, and information cards
- Alpha Sigma Phi (ΑΣΦ), Beta Psi chapter founded in 1946. Alpha Sigma Phi was founded on December 6, 1845, at Yale College by Louis Manigault, Stephen Ormsby Rhea, and Horace Spangler Weiser. It was founded with the purpose “to Better the Man through the creation and perpetuation of brotherhood founded upon the values of Character, Silence, Charity, Purity, Honor, and Patriotism.” [3] The history of the Beta Psi chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi can be traced back to the founding of the Lambda chapter of Theta Nu Epsilon in 1882. Due to financial constraints from the Great Depression and dwindling numbers in membership, it merged with the Alpha Kappa Chapter of Alpha Kappa Pi in 1940. After World War 2, Alpha Kappa Pi across the entire nation faced more trouble with membership and would finally merge with Alpha Sigma Phi in 1946, when the chapter at RPI became the Beta Psi chapter.[4] The fraternity’s membership would be at stake again as the United States entered the Vietnam War, but the Beta Psi chapter would face its biggest challenge following its suspension from RPI and the National Organization in the 1990’s. This era of difficulty led to low membership. In local tradition and oral history, the brothers who are primarily responsible for the fraternity's resurgence were Jason Stern, Paul Lambeck, and Adam "Digby" Wells. The efforts of these three brothers are considered critically important to maintaining the chapter's traditions and ensuring its continued presence on RPI's campus. This is considered to be the re-founding of the Beta Psi chapter and is symbolic of Alpha Sigma Phi’s national symbol, the phoenix. Today, the lineage of all active brothers can be traced back to Stern and Lambeck. The Beta Psi chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi maintains a membership of approximately twenty brothers.[5] The current chapter house is on 16 Belle Ave in Troy NY. The house can act as a place where active brothers can choose to live in, host brotherhood events, and hold chapter meetings. The house is frequently visited by alumni and other friends of the house. The chapter is part of the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) on campus and remains in contact with the National Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi. Additionally, the Beta Psi chapter also plans an annual 24-Hour Extra Life charity stream around the time of November to raise money for children’s hospitals.

Sororities
[edit]The governing body of all sororities is the Panhellenic Council.[12]
- Alpha Gamma Delta (ΑΓΔ), Zeta Eta chapter. Alpha Gamma Delta was founded on May 30, 1904, at Syracuse University and had 11 founders, women who were dedicated to creating a home where other women could foster lifelong friendships and growth, as well as connections for future opportunities. Alpha Gamma Delta sorority has established itself in almost 200 colleges, with nearly 200,000 sisters nationwide. Alpha Gamma Delta sorority is an international women’s organization that provides opportunities for personal development, and service to others, and allows sisters to pave their path, all while providing the bond of sisterhood. Alpha Gamma Delta’s philanthropy is fighting hunger, since nearly 1 in 8 Americans and 1 in 8 Canadians struggle with hunger, making this one of the biggest struggles of all time. Alpha Gamma Delta is partnered with Feeding America, a nonprofit organization that manages food banks nationwide, and Meals on Wheels, which is a similar organization that home-delivers food items to those in need. Alpha Gamma Delta sorority also works with local agencies near each of the chapters as well. Every February, chapters across the nation participate in a Week of Service, where they raise money for feeding initiatives as well as help collect and distribute food to those in need. The Alpha Gamma Delta flower is a red and buff rose with green asparagus plumosa fern. Alpha Gamma Delta’s jewel is the pearl. Alpha Gamma Delta’s colors are red, buff, and green. Their mascot is the squirrel, hence their nickname: “the nut house.” The Zeta Eta chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta is at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, located on Sherry Road in Troy, NY. The Zeta Eta chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta is one of the three big social sororities at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and it has been able to maintain a respectable GPA throughout its existence at RPI.
- Alpha Phi (ΑΦ), Theta Tau chapter. Alpha Phi was founded at Syracuse University in 1872 by ten women and has since grown into an international organization with over 170 chapters across the U.S. and Canada. It is the first women’s fraternity that was founded in the Northeast. Alpha Phi considers itself a women’s fraternity because the founding date of the organization predates the invention of the term “sorority.” Alpha Phi’s philanthropy is women’s heart health, focusing on symptoms, treatment, and prevention of heart disease in women. The Theta Tau chapter of Alpha Phi at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute originated as Phi Alpha Sigma, which was later colonized by the Alpha Phi International Fraternity in 1995. The Theta Tau chapter of Alpha Phi is located at 1 Forsyth Drive. Every year, the Alpha Phi house raises money for the Alpha Phi foundation through various means - Heart Health Week, Alpha Phifa, and the Red Dress Gala are just a few examples. Heart Health Week is during a specific week of the school year when sisters would table in various locations (usually the Student Union and the DCC) and sell various items ranging from snacks like brownies to items like scrunchies. Alpha Phifa is a soccer tournament that anyone can sign up for - all they have to do is make a team and pay a team fee. This event is very popular among the Greek houses at RPI, as they usually compete against one another to win. The Red Dress Gala is an annual Alpha Phi event (for all chapters) and is where parents can attend and choose to donate money. Money raised from any of these events or events outside of it is donated to the Alpha Phi Foundation, which in turn redirects to women’s heart health. Sisters of Alpha Phi also volunteer some hours at various places in Troy. Examples include the Troy Boys and Girls, the Troy Food Bank, and the animal shelter.
- Alpha Omega Epsilon (ΑΩΕ), the Tau chapter was founded on April 23, 2006. In the early 1980s, there was a national push to interest women in engineering.

They decided to form a sorority, and Alpha Omega Epsilon was founded on November 13, 1983. ΑΩΕ is a social and professional sorority focusing on supporting and empowering underrepresented genders in STEM. It is a member of the Professional Fraternity Association at the international level. Their international philanthropies are First Robotics and the Alpha Omega Epsilon Foundation.
- Pi Beta Phi (ΠΒΦ), New York Epsilon chapter. Pi Beta Phi was founded by 12 courageous young women at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois on April 28, 1867. These founders set the stage for a thriving organization--originally called I.C. Sorosis--that continues to enrich the lives of many during their collegiate years and beyond. Pi Beta Phi is the first women's fraternity to be modeled on the men's groups and the first to start a chapter at another college. Their mission is to promote friendship, develop women of intellect and integrity, cultivate leadership potential, and enrich lives through community service.[13] At RPI, the chapter was originally founded as Kappa Phi on April 27, 1982. The first meeting was held in February of 1982 in the dorm room of freshman roommates Yvette Ruiz Hober and Susan Mudrock Thompson. Yvette would later become the first President and Susan the first Vice President of the organization. The 11 charter members initially wrote to Pi Phi about national affiliation in 1982, and after establishing a membership of 50 women over two years, they became duly pledged members of Pi Beta Phi on September 4th, 1984. They were then installed as the New York Epsilon chapter of Pi Beta Phi on November 17, 1984. The initiation ceremony took place at the First United Presbyterian Church of Troy and the installation banquet was held at Russell Sage Dining Hall. Read > Lead > Achieve is Pi Beta Phi’s philanthropic effort, which inspires a lifelong love of reading that can unlock true potential, creating a more literate and productive society. The New York Epsilon chapter raises money for this foundation through numerous events including their annual Powder Puff game, where women's organizations on campus compete against each other in a friendly game of flag football. The chapter also used to host a fundraiser event called Mr. RPI, which they ran from 1985 until 2019. This event involved different members from the fraternities on campus competing for the title of Mr. RPI after being judged on certain categories. These initially included categories like campus wear, eveningwear, beachwear, and the contestants' responses to several questions. It evolved to include more talent-based categories in the show's later years. Their chapter house is located at 8 Sherry Road.
