MISSION STATEMENTS

La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity Inc. was founded to address the needs of all underrepresented groups, especially those within the ever-growing Latino community. By conducting ourselves with pride and dignity, we promote equality and the overall advancement and enhancement of the quality of education for all.

Theta Chi's motto is "lend a helping hand", which is translated from the greek letters Theta and Chi. This translation is what Theta Chi's try their best to live by. Brothers strive to help each other out and in the process build an ever stronger brotherhood, but our helping hand is not just extended to brothers but also to our neighbors, the community, and our country. In being founded at Norwich University, a private military college, many of our beliefs and ideals reflect those of an upstanding military officer. Among these beliefs are accountability, the courage to do what's right, and respect for oneself and others. By instilling these ideals in our brothers it is Theta Chi's goal to create straight forward and upright men, there by helping them lead honest and successful lives.


Alpha Chi Rho is a National, men's collegiate fraternity whose purpose is to enhance the life long intellectual, moral, and social development of out members through guidance of our Landmarks. Membership is from among those who are prepared to realize in word and deed the Brotherhood of all men. We insist on a high and clean moral standard. We believe in the paramount duty of Brotherly love among members. We also believe in judgment not by externals, but by intrinsic worth: no one is denied membership into Alpha Chi Rho because of race, creed, or nationality.

SigEp national was founded on November 1, 1901. The cardinal principles of the fraternity are Virtue, Diligence and Brotherly Love. Sigma Phi Epsilon is considered by many to be the most successful fraternity in the United States. It currently has the largest number of active members and chapters in the US. It is also the fraternity with the highest cumulative GPA nationally. The experience of Sigma Phi Epsilon is a never-ending quest to attain a "Sound Mind and Sound Body". The New York Delta chapter resides at 2005 15th Street, right near the Rensselaer Union, and contributes to the community through philanthropic programs such as Habitat for Humanity.

The purpose of Theta Xi is to provide a college home environment for its active members in which fellowship and alumni guidance lead to wholesome mental, moral, physical, and spiritual growth.

The mission of Epsilon-Eta Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha is to collaborate in providing a superior fraternal environment and bond at Rensselaer with excellence in chapterer operations, scholarship, member involvement, house maintence, social image, and our rituals, while always striving for personal development.

Chi Phi was founded as a social organization; a group of like-minded individuals formed Chi Phi in order to promote the values they held close to their soul. These values can best be summarized as Truth, Honesty, and Personal Integrity. The promotion of these three values is what guides this fraternity.

Phi Gamma Delta exists to promote lifelong friendships, to reaffirm high ethical standards and values, and to foster personal development in the pursuit of excellence. Phi Gamma Delta is committed to provide opportunities for each brother to develop responsibility, leadership, scholarship and social skills in order to become a fully contributing member of society.

Being a brother at Alpha Sigma Phi does not mean you are a stereotypical "frat boy" as often portrayed in popular media. On the contrary, the workload at RPI will quickly consume what little free time you think you might have and in that respect, Alpha Sigma Phi can be a valuable tool to better yourself. The academic curriculum has often times been made easier with the help of brothers who have taken the classes, the textbooks and study guides we have on hand, and the general experience brothers have that they are willing to share. The goal of Alpha Sigma Phi is "to better the man." It is a goal we each hold in our hearts. We are a group committed to helping each other in our studies and in our lives. We are work associates, we are classmates, and we are friends. We are brothers of Alpha Sigma Phi.

Tau Epsilon Phi is comprised of men who live their lives by our three ideals; Friendship, Chivalry, and Service. Our fraternity is based upon the strength of friendship, as we would cease to exist without this eternal bond which we grow from more and more each day. We strive to uphold the ideal of chivalry, being respectful and courteous to all men and women. We give our strength, ideas and time to those whom require it, whether it be voluntary or not, embodying the ideal of service. Our purpose is to guide college men toward productive lives and to prepare them for community responsibility by practicing our three ideals.
