LAMBDA CHI ALPHA
The brothers of the Theta Kappa chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha
would like to welcome you to Rose-Hulman and take this great opportunity
to introduce you to the Rose-Hulman fraternity system. Greek life may not
be for everyone, but we encourage you give it an honest chance to decide for
yourself.
First, we would like to provide you
with some background information
about our organization. Lambda Chi
Alpha is one of the largest general
fraternities in North America with
over 250,000 initiated members at
over 300 universities. In addition,
Lambda Chi Alpha is a forerunner
in the fight against hazing with its
Associate Member program. This
program eliminates the pledge
process ensuring that new members
are treated like brothers with the
ability to hold office
positions and vote in governing matters. Associate Membership does not include any
extra tasks that would not be asked of an initiated brother. Lambda Chi Alpha
provides a great environment to better leadership skills, with over a dozen different
offices. Each member has a voice in the chapter’s decisions.
Brotherhood is the base of Lambda Chi Alpha. Our
fraternity is a place where you will build friendships
that you will cherish for a lifetime. All of us are
willing to lend a hand on anything from homework to
a house improvement. When the work is done,
everyone is ready to relax and have a good time!
Involvement in campus activities is another
thing that our group enjoys. Lambda Chi
Alpha holds a number of recent Greek
Games titles, and enters at least one team in
each of the intramural events. If you enjoy a
particular sport, you will have an opportunity
to pursue it here.
We understand that enrollment at Rose requires an emphasis on academics to be successful and
respond with programs that help ease the burden. We currently have numerous scholarships in
place to help encourage a high degree of academic achievement. There is also a “brother’s
keeper” program which pairs up brothers with similar classwork to help any struggling member.
The academic success of all the brothers is one of our top priorities!
The men of Lambda Chi Alpha believe in giving
back to the community. Our largest event is
“Run for Kids Sake” in which we raise over
$1000 annually to give to Big Brothers/Big
Sisters of Vigo County. Each year, we hold a
Christmas Party for underprivileged children in
Terre Haute, providing them with gifts,
refreshments, and entertainment. We also
participate in Meals on Wheels and the local
library’s homework help program weekly. In
addition we raised over 1000 pounds of food for
local charity functions in our annual North
American food drive.
We all have a great sense of pride in our fraternity. This pride
recently resulted in a joint effort between the actives and the
alumni, which enabled us to fund and perform an impressive
house renovation that continues to improve as year after year.
This effort and dedication has earned us recognition amongst
our national headquarters and other Lambda Chi Alpha
chapters. In addition to that, we have set up a scholarship
program in which to reward members for their fraternal
achievements.
While we place an
emphasis on academics and involvement, there is
nowhere else to be when it comes to having fun. Our
annual Pig Roast provides a perfect atmosphere to
socialize with friends and meet new people. We also plan
other parties throughout the year such as our Luau, where
the Chapter Room was turned into a beach-sand and all.
Although we never turn down an invitation, Lambda Chi
Alpha isn’t all about parties. We also have canoe trips,
group movies, and other brotherhood events meant to
strengthen the bond of our fraternity. Social events with
local sororities are common and always prove to be a
goodtime.
Our group wishes you luck in your experience at Rose, and once again we request
you give Greek Life a chance. We look forward to meeting you during rush.
Sincerely,
The Men of Lambda Chi Alpha
PHI GAMMA DELTA
The Men of the Rho Phi chapter of Phi Gamma Delta at Rose-Hulman welcome
you to Rose-Hulman and the fraternity system. Choosing a fraternity will be one of the
most important decisions you make this year, and we would like to help you make the
right choice. The friends that you will make in your pledge class and throughout our
chapter brotherhood will last a lifetime, as will all the memories you experience while at
Rose-Hulman. The knowledge and respect you will garner when you pledge Phi
Gamma Delta will help sustain you as a Rose-Hulman student and as you journey
through life.
Our pledge pin is a white star, with each of its five points symbolizing an
important value: FRIENDSHIP brings us together and is the basis of our brotherhood.
KNOWLEDGE is the primary reason our brothers come to college. SERVICE
represents our obligation to give back to
the campus and community that surrounds
us. MORALITY is our commitment to do
what is right and to strive to be gentlemen
of quality. EXCELLENCE is the
achievement of the total potential of our
chapter and of each brother. Becoming a
part of Phi Gamma Delta makes you part
of our International Fraternity with
chapters from coast to coast and in
Canada. When you wear the badge or
letters of Phi Gamma Delta, you are
assured that you have friends and brothers worldwide who can come to your aid if need
be. In addition, your pledge brothers and the chapter brothers you befriend throughout
your four years here will be forever loyal and will sacrifice for you, just as a true brother
should.
The knowledge you gain in your
classes at RHIT is important to your
academic and future professional career.
Likewise, the knowledge and values you
gain as a Rose Fiji will remain essential in
your daily life. There are no books or
formulas that can prepare you for the real
world. Your experience as a Fiji and your
dedication to our values will help to
prepare you for life beyond these college
walls. The fraternal background and
helpful knowledge that you will attain
throughout your pledgeship will help you to make the correct decisions and prepare you
for some of the adversities you will face in the future. The friends that you make during
your four years and the contacts you make with Rho Phi brothers out in the professional
world will open windows for future career opportunities. Being a brother in Phi Gamma
Delta has benefits that will serve you well all the days of your life.
Our chapter house is located at 1121 S. 6th Street, and is set on a beautiful lot. In
addition to our house, our property also contains a chapter area that houses a pool
table, large furnished
recreation room, and a
bigscreen TV. In addition, we
have a large space in the back
of the property complete with a
height-adjustable basketball
goal, a horseshoe pit area, and
plenty of room for cornhole.
Every living space on our
property has wireless
capacities. We live in the
middle of a college town,
performing the work of RHIT
students, while also being able
to mix socially with ISU Greek
organizations as well as our fellow Greeks on the Rose-Hulman campus. We find it a
great mix that helps keep balance in our lives and gives us a break from the daily stress
of classes.
Your decision to pledge a fraternity is an important one, and we strongly
encourage you to carefully consider all factors. We at Phi Gamma Delta live our motto—
FRIENDSHIP, THE SWEETEST INFLUENCE—on a daily basis, and we believe that
people are what really matter: people to work with, people to have fun with, people to
face adversity with, people to enjoy life with. Becoming a Fiji will group you with people
who will become your brothers, and will sustain and support you through your four years
at Rose and long after. Come check us out during rush; we look forward to meeting you!
Most sincerely,
The Brothers of Phi Gamma Delta

THE SIGMA NU FRATERNITY
Beta Upsilon Chapter at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
Fall 2014
Welcome!
The Beta Upsilon Chapter of the Sigma Nu Fraternity would like to give
you a warm welcome to the Rose-Hulman Family here in Terre Haute, Indiana, and invite you to discover all of the benefits that Greek Life has to
offer. The Brothers of Sigma Nu look forward to meeting you personally
over the next few weeks of Rush. During Rush, it is our goal to provide as
much assistance and guidance as possible in your decision to join one of the
eight great fraternities here at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. We
know firsthand that doing so is an exceptionally elevating experience that
will benefit you and your future Brothers for the rest of your life. Throughout the next few weeks of Rush you will realize that the most important
aspect of Greek Life to consider is the quality of man that makes up each
Greek organization. Here at Sigma Nu, it is our job to prove that we are—
and have always been—the best choice.
Sigma Nu at a Glance:
● Founded in 1869 nationally;
1895 at Rose-Hulman.
● Over 280 active chapters and
230,000 active members across
the United States.
● Newest house on RoseHulman’s campus, built in 1997.
● Notable Sigma Nu Alumni:
Become Something More. Become a Sigma Nu.
At Sigma Nu, we believe that we offer strong values and ties of brotherhood
that will stay with our men for as long as they live. We teach values of honor, truth, and love while taking part in leadership and philanthropy not only
at Rose-Hulman but throughout the surrounding community. We pride
ourselves in our strong brotherhood— which can be found at any Sigma Nu
chapter across the nation—while remaining faithful to our interfraternal relationships that we have with the many Greek organizations here
at Rose-Hulman. It is our goal here at Sigma Nu to foster the growth
of each man’s mind, heart, and character while perpetuating lifelong
friendships and commitment to the Fraternity.

The men of Theta Xi Kappa Chapter are a friendly,
hard working group of brothers and engineers
who have joined together to relax, study, and host
both social and charity events. We pride that we
have very close bonds of brotherhood formed
through an exciting pledging process and
throughout the time we spend with each other.
At Theta Xi, our number one priority is the
academic success of our members. When we’re
not in class, you can usually find us studying in the computer labs. Our other priorities include meeting
new people, serving our community, and developing respectable members of society. We often spend a
lot of time relaxing at the house playing games or watching movies.
The Kappa Chapter house is located off campus
at the intersection of 6th and Park streets,
providing a welcoming and comfortable home
base convenient to downtown Terre Haute.
Benefits of living at the house are numerous,
including that our beautiful, turn-of-the-century
house is spacious and can comfortably support
Theta Xi in its twelve bedrooms. In addition to
being significantly cheaper than on-campus
living, the house provides an excellent environment for personal studies and leisure. We also have a full
kitchen and ample public space for social functions and lounging.
We hope to meet all of you during our exciting Rush season. Our
ultimate goal is to create a comfortable and welcoming
environment for individuals of all backgrounds. We hope you are
able to come to some of our rush events, and that you enjoy
learning about Rose-Hulman’s fine Greek system.

Triangle
The Men of Triangle would like to welcome you to Rose‐Hulman and invite you to take a look into our
Fraternity. We take pride in the strength of our chapter here and believe Triangle helps every man who joins to
develop academically, socially, and professionally. Along with this personal growth, the men of Triangle form
enduring friendships that continue far beyond the short time here at Rose.
Triangle is a fraternity of engineers, scientists, and architects dedicated to the development of its
members and the improvement of its brotherhood. This is evident in everything we do. For the past ten years,
the Rose‐Tech chapter of Triangle has been ranked the top Triangle chapter nationally.
Diversity is also a chapter quality highly value. As a result, we have members involved in a variety of
clubs, varsity sports, and club sports. Frequently, these members also serve as leaders in the organizations with
which they participate. In fact, during the past few years we have had members serving as President , Treasurer,
and Community Service Chair for the American Society of Civil Engineers, President of the National Society of Black
Engineers, President of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, President of American Society of Biomedical
Engineers, President of the Best Buddies program, President of Habitat of Humanity, Head Co‐Chairs of the Career
Fair Team, Captains of the Baseball and Soccer teams, and many other positions in countless other clubs and
organizations.
To balance our involvement on campus, we have made a distinct effort to be involved with several
philanthropic events each year to give back to our community. We held a pancreatic cancer dinner for students
and faculty to attend to help raise money for cancer research. We also organized SADD games, an event
where over 70 local middle school students participated in a program to teach them the consequences of
destructive decisions. Triangle brothers also participate in smaller events such as RHIT’s Day of Service, The Walk
to End Alzheimer’s, and Homecoming Campus Beautification.
The success and strength of our fraternity can be traced back to our pledge program. This is a program
through which every member must pass in order to become an active member of the fraternity. It can be
demanding in its time commitment, but we pride ourselves in its thoroughness. After completing the program, our
pledges have been entirely integrated in to the fraternity and have developed a bond that qualifies them as a
brother to every member in the fraternity.
Even before the completion of the pledge program, a wide range of activities and benefits are available.
One important benefit of the fraternity is the wealth of resources brothers have academically. Older members and
fellow classmates are always nearby and willing to help explain material or work through the homework together.
We pride ourselves as being one of the top academic fraternities here at Rose - Hulman. One of the most enjoyed
benefits is the social activities we regularly organize. We have many social events during the course of the year in
order to relax, step back from the rigors of Rose‐Hulman, and enjoy fellowship with our brothers. Another great
time to develop friendships has been over school breaks. This past year Triangle Brothers traveled all over the U.S.
Some went to Florida to lie on the beach, some went on the annual ski trip to Colorado, and some went to Utah to
camp, raft, and mountain bike.
Our house is located on the east side of campus, and can be easily identified by the Delta T on the side.
In the early 2000’s we completed a 1.2 million dollar renovation on our house. This renovation increased the
capacity of the house, added an entertainment room, and relocated the study room. A committee of Triangle
brothers are currently laying out financial and construction plans for new renovations to come soon in the future
We also receive a yearly grant from Triangle Nationals to improve our study room.
We look forward to meeting all of you. Rush is an excellent opportunity for us to get to know you and for
you to meet all the fraternities. Again, we encourage you to look into each fraternity so that you might find that
group of men you can call brothers and life‐long friends.
