Upcoming Events
Alumni Weekend 2024; Chicago, IL; Sep 27-29. Come explore the Windy City with some of your favorite people. We have reserved group housing for out of town participants for that "live in" experience. Attendees interested in attending a Cubs game should commit early so we can secure appropriately sized blocks of seats early for the final homestand of the year. A full agenda and group housing costs will be available around Charter Day. Reservations will be managed with the new donation platform.
Centennial Celebration - Charter Day 2025; Troy, NY; Apr 23-27, 2025. Can you believe it's been 100 years of Phi Kappa Theta at RPI!? In honor of this remarkable achievement we are planning a major celebration for 2025. Mark your calendar today - this is not to be missed. More details to come at Charter Day 2024.

Congratulations to alumni and now Rear Admiral Michael R. Van Poots (1995) who received his first star last December! This is a remarkable achievement. Of the 347,000 personnel in the Navy, Michael is one of only 117 Rear Admirals (LH). Michael continues to embody the motto of our fraternity through his nearly 30 years of service to our country. We couldn’t be more proud of you and thank you for your service.

Database Updates
The alumni database is being updated. Each pledge class is being tasked with updating their members’ contact information for accuracy. Please support their requests for information as it will greatly aid our outreach efforts for the upcoming Centennial Charter Day and other major announcements. Please complete this form to update your database information.
Alumni Donations
While many RPI fraternities folded during covid restrictions, the donations of alumni like yourself were able to support our chapter through this difficult time and ensure the continuity of the brotherhood. Please reflect on the value you have received from the fraternity over the years, and join your fellow alumni by enrolling in recurring monthly donations.
