ouRPIs Coming Soon!
We've succesfully archived 86 editions of the ouRPI! Most were scanned from Jay Webb's collection. Frank Harrington also provided several 2000s-era soft copies to save us some time and effort. Thanks to Jay and Frank! Once we finish reviewing them, we'll publish the link. Some highlights we've seen so far:
- The estimate to construct the wing in 1958 totaled $40,000 (almost $300,000 today)
- A picture from the Christmas party in 1960, with the same seating arrangements and decorations as the present-day Christmas parties
- "Little Sister Patty" in 1981
- Two classic pictures of Troll, one in 1981 and another in 2000
- Tricky Rick's CompuServe email address from 2000
?
While you're anxiously waiting the publication of the archives, you can sate yourself on the list of the editions, which can be found here. If you have an ouRPI that is not on that list, please contact Michael Bruce to arrange for it to be added to the archives.
Look at these Sad Composites!
Look at all of these old and sad composites that are just dying to be hung up at 25 Belle Avenue...
We need a variety of frames, plexiglass, and backing. The manpower to fix them is there, but the funds are not. Don't you want to see them hanging proudly at Alumni Weekend? If so, visit the donations page to make a donation!!
Happy Birthday Fenway!
An almost-belated Happy Birthday to our former mascot, Fenway Trinward! Here she is pictured with Kyle Kwaczala '08 in one of his favorite positions:
(that other dog looks jealous of Kyle and Fenway's "special" relationship)

Spring Break
The actives are all on spring break now, so there may not be very many updates this week. Keep checking back for details, or better yet, subscribe to email updates by entering your email address on the upper left side of the front page!
February Financial Reports Now Posted
Directors can access them here. As a follow-up to January's post: RPI paid us once in January, and once in the beginning of March. They recently provided us a list of their (and subsequently our) outstanding receivables, which was not provided at the time of the first payment. So, you'll see that there are two different files for accounts receivable: one as of 2/28/11 (which includes the first payment but not the second payment), and one as of 3/8/11 (which includes both payments).
Also, the January reports have been restated (to reflect the first payment's details) and can be found in the same folder.
2011 5 Star Submission
Our most worthy Phi, Dodds Anderson, submitted the annual "5 Star" paperwork on March 1. It has been uploaded here. Stay tuned as to how many stars we receive! Thanks to Dodds for pulling it together.
Lots of New Pictures Posted
We uploaded a lot of new pictures to our Flickr account, including photos of:
- A recruitment event in early 2007
- Renovations over the summer of 2007
- The convention in Lincoln, NE in summer 2007
- The convention in Montreal, QC in summer 2008
All of the sets can be found here:

Enjoy!
February Financials Coming Soon
I am going to publish the February financial reports tomorrow or early next week. Sorry for the delay.
Our Condolences
The brothers of Zeta Psi would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Cole Matthew Rocque, a junior at RPI who passed away on Sunday, March 6. We join the rest of RPI's community in mourning the sudden loss of one of our fellow students. It is heartbreaking when any parent is forced to to bury a son, thus we wish them strength and courage during this incredibly trying time.
2010 Alumni Weekend Photos Posted
Better late than never, right? Well, here they are: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vietasocieta/sets/72157626094787479/
We'll have professional photography this year, so we'll have many more pictures of a much higher quality. We'll also post them soon after the event concludes.
Don't forget to check back for news about this year's Alumni Weekend!
Pi Zete on the Tennis Team
We aren't just a basketball fraternity! Andrew Snyder '12 walked on to the tennis team this past year after playing for his high school team a few years ago. He just won a big match this past weekend, so congratulations "Schneider"!
It looked like a hell of a match. For more details, visit: http://www.rpiathletics.com/news/2011/3/5/MTEN_0305114548.aspx
