    2) Hello, alumni!

     

    This past March we held a St. Patrick’s Day event. We made traditional Irish food including corned beef, soda bread, Guinness cake, lamb stew, and colcannon. We also had potatoes and Lucky Charms (a meal fit for a leprechaun). The food was great, we had fun, and we even gained a new pledge from the event, which is very exciting news.

     

    Last week, we initiated an amazing pledge class of 6, including the newest pledge, who we are proud to call our brothers. The house is expanding once again which is exciting news! *We have 15 actives with two graduating next month. 

     

    The Black & Gold Formal is happening on April 25th. We hope to see you there! If you haven’t filled it out, the RSVP form is below. The day before, we’re holding a concert at our house, so feel free to stop by a day early (don’t worry, we’ll make sure the house is spick and span!). If you have any questions, feel free to text VD Jackson Lawrence at (914) 582-0060!

  • The Jim Flaherty #383 Pledge Brother and Alumni (PBA) Hockey Game of 2026

    The Jim Flaherty #383 Pledge Brother and Alumni (PBA) Hockey Game of 2026

    On Saturday, 21 February 2026, the alumni and undergraduates came together to celebrate our long tradition of skating at the Field House after the Big Red Freakout in the Pledge, Brother and Alumni (PBA) hockey contest.

    In honor of the alumnus responsible for organizing and keeping this event going, the Board has renamed it the “Jim Flaherty #383 PBA” Thank you, Jim, for your enthusiasm for the sport and honoring its history at RPI Acacia.

    We will do everything we can to get the word out in advance of next year’s event and keep growing the number of participants.

    Also, from the VD: 

    The active chapter had an amazing time at PBA! At the house we hung out, talked, and played games (and ate a pineapple). We went to Famous for lunch and Brown’s for early dinner in Downtown Troy.

    And then of course we watched the Big Red Freakout hockey game. It started out slow, and the referees were terrible at their job, but in the end RPI destroyed Harvard with a final score of 3 to 1! To finish off the day, we reserved the ice to skate and play some hockey after the big game, which was a blast.

    Thank you to all our alumni who came to PBA. (And a special thanks to those who helped at work party the day after.) 

    All the players who played in the game
