Spring Alumni Weekend April 27-29, 2012

We'll be holding a spring alumni weekend in coordination with Relay for Life and a sendoff of our graduating seniros.  Please let us know if you are coming back.  

The Fall Alumni Weekend will be held Oct 5-7, 2012 in coordination with RPI's Homecoming weekend.  Already the Classes of 1962, 1982, and 1992 are making plans for coming back.

Relay for Life - R.P.I.  April 27-28, 2012

Our Reason to Relay:  The Chapter is once again participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life on the R.P.I campus.  Our goal is to raise $2500 as a team. Please visit our team website page to see our prograss and to support our efforts.  At the event, our team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Saving lives from cancer starts one team, one participant, and one dollar at a time.

Pledges Retake Lip Synch Crown - November 2011

The Fall 2011 pledge class was 17 members strong.  They were initiated on February 4, 2012, bringing NYEP ever closer to the 1000th initiate level.  The class had a great pledge period, with one of the highlights being recapturing the Lip Synch crown.  They held the crown that the Fall class of 2010 retook after a lull since the pledge class of 2007.  Their rendition can be seen on YouTube (SAE Lip Synch Fall 2011).  From beginning to end they made use of the entire pledge class.

Fall Alumni Weekend October 14-16, 2011

The past three years we have seen great alumni turnout from the older classes.  In 2010 the Class of 1985 made it back for their 25th anniversary and in 2009 the classes of 1977-1979 and the class of 1999 returned for their anniversaries.  Their self motivation to organize their classmates return especially helped make the LAE shareholder meeting, the reception, and dinner very memorable.  Photos are at the alumni page.  In 2011 we celebrated the 50th year of residing at Scenic 12 Myrtle Avenue and 60th of our Chartering as NY Epsilon.  October 5-7, 2012 we will hold out Fall Alumni Weekend in coordination with RPI Homecoming weekend..

James Michael Joly '98 Passes to Chapter Eternal, January 23, 2011

James Michael Joly  9/30/1976 - 1/23/2011

It is with sad heart that we report the passing of James Michael Joly ‘98.  As an undergraduate, James served as Rush Chairman and Eminent Archon for two semesters.  He was instrumental in making the bylaws a living document and revamped the Goals and Standards committee operations to encourage excellence in chapter officer leadership.  As an alumnus he continued supporting the Chapter with his time, money, and dream sharing.  Professionally, he was highly successful with his career in Web/IT, co-authoring a book "Early Adopter Curl" in 2001 and founding the software firm Unifact in 2005. For the past three years he served as Chief Technology Officer at Virtu Financial in Manhattan.  His extroverted and caring personalityreached beyond the walls of the chapter as he had an impact in his professional and external friends he made.  He could always be counted on at weddings to make everyone – and I mean everyone in attendance from kids to grandmothers - enjoy the evening.  Erik Anderson '97 has posted the eulogy he gave at the memorial service on February 19,  2011.  Many alumni from across the country and years came together for a memorial and celebration weekend in Boston.  A few alumni from Jame’s era are working to establish an appropriate memorial endowment fund to remember and perpetuate the ideals and zeal that James had for the chapter and individual leadership.  We will be rolling out the James Michael Joly Zeal Fund in time for the LAE Phonathon.
