Recap of Fall Alumni Weekend and Peter Baldwin '06 Rensselaer Gala in Fall 2025
Last September the chapter was able to host a social event at the house (with no host alcohol) as part of Peter Baldwin's Rensselaer Gala Weekend. It was quite the effort to pull off, but RPI, Peter Baldwin, and the chapter wanted to try out the new attitude and environment for student and alumni life with the new "coaching" culture being promoted by President Marty Schmidt. Indded here is his RPI Forward Strategic Plan
Here are some photos from the social event at the chapter house and RPI campus

We have a need for continued financial support for the project and future educational purpose opportunities for the undergrads in their brand new home. So look for emails and mailings from us and RPI for March 2026 RPi Day giving plans and to primarily donate to our General Funds
