We empower students to shape a modern, student-run organization, advancing both personal growth and professional development beyond the traditional fraternity model.
We foster a close, collaborative environment where students form lasting relationships, live and learn together, and build a strong support network that extends across the RPI, Troy, and alumni communities.
Students gain direct guidance from alumni, faculty, and peers, supporting their academic, professional, and personal growth through hands-on collaboration.
I joined RSE𝘪 when it was just starting out and I wanted to help grow it into an organization everyone on campus knows of and wants to join. With its extensive alumni group, RSE𝘪 has taught me a lot about putting myself out there and making connections.
I joined RSE𝘪 my freshman year hoping to find an entrepreneurial community and a true maker-space, and it has become all of that and more. RSE𝘪 is a place where curiosity is encouraged, ideas turn into real projects, and pursuing skills feels natural because you’re surrounded by people who care just as deeply. The environment blends creativity, engineering, and collaboration in a way that makes work feel like play. It’s a community that challenges and supports you while giving you space to grow as both a student and a leader, and joining RSE𝘪 has been one of the most transformative parts of my time at RPI.
When I started my Freshman year at RPI I wasn't really expecting to find myself in a fraternity, but after spending time at the RSE𝘪 Clubhouse with a group of friends, I found a welcoming, friendly organization that balances both professional and social aspects that I was looking for. The organization to me represents an ideal balance between the academic aspects of college that are important to me, but also the social and emotional aspects of belonging to a community of like minded individuals and spending time together.
