Get ready for the Pi Chapter annual Alumni Weekend, to be held 26-28th, 2019! Hotel and registration details available.
Pi Zetes at the Sunday Brunch inauguration of "Zeta Psi Presentation Room" in the Folsom Library. Design and build of the room funded by our $75,000 gift to RPI in honor of our 150th Anniversary last year.
Registration is now open!!! Make sure you register in time so we can have an accurate count to give to the appropriate parties. You can do so here: http://tinyurl.com/ZetaPsi2011
Just a reminder, the schedule for Alumni Weekend can be found here:

We look forward to seeing you in Troy!
By the way, today is March 14, or 3.14! So, to all the Pi Zetes out there, happy Pi Day!
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!
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.
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.
We uploaded a lot of new pictures to our Flickr account, including photos of:
All of the sets can be found here:

Enjoy!
I am going to publish the February financial reports tomorrow or early next week. Sorry for the delay.
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.
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!
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
Our chapter has been featured on IFC's website!. Check it out here: http://ifc.union.rpi.edu/?p=657

As a follow-up to the post made earlier this week, here is the entire "Zete map" that you can pan, zoom, and manipulate to your hearts' content. If you see an error or would like to contact a special someone, contact Frank Harrington! If you'd like to download the Google Earth file so you can see more detail, because a lot of placemarks overlap one another, you can do so here. After that, open Google Earth and hit File -> Open, then select that file. The placemarks should automatically populate Google Earth. If this is too complicated, here's the map (note that you can always view the map on the "About Us" tab at the top of the page as well):
[googlemaps http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=210309024258554769021.00049d729988f7d9719b8&ll=42.811522,-52.734375&spn=113.15753,225&z=2&output=embed&w=640&h=480]
We were able to import our database of brothers into Google Earth, which allows us to visually identify where brothers are located. For example, below is an overview of all of our brothers in the Tri-State Area. Hopefully, we wil be able to bring brothers together by publishing screenshots of different locations periodically. If you see a placemark out of place, please contact Frank Harrington immediately so the database can be fixed. You can also contact Frank to retrieve a brother's contact information if you see someone you'd like to catch up with. Note that the number in the placemark represents their year of graduation ("7" meaning 1970s, "1" meaning 2010s, and so on).
The actives have published some photos from their recent IFC Volleyball game. Check them out here! Also, all of the house photos can be viewed here:
You may or may not be aware that the RPI men's basketball team finished the regular season tied for first place in the Liberty League. They ended the season with an 11-3 record in the Liberty League, and 17-7 overall. Due to a dubious tiebreaker, they will not host the tournament, and instead will travel to Hobart to face off against Skidmore on Friday evening at 6 PM. The winner of the game will play the winner of Hobart vs. Hamilton in the final, which will take place Saturday at 3 PM.
