As a result of the university’s recent sanctions against Greek Life, I will no longer be active on this forum. I have been encouraging students to come to RPI since I was admitted and attended for several years. It’s been a great experience that’s provided me with a lot of opportunity, but I could not imagine it being the same without Greek Life. My time at RPI would have been extremely miserable without my fraternity and I think that the over 2000 students affected by this would say that same.

Here’s a great video to learn more about the current situation: http://wnyt.com/investigates/greek-life-suspension-rpi-rensselaer-polytechnic-institute-troy-rensselaer-county/4956433/?cat=10114

I would advise that if you want to have a vibrant social life in college you do not apply to RPI until this is resolved. Also, if you’re a girl, I’d be sure to consider this: http://www.troyrecord.com/opinion/20180505/readers-view-title-ix-issues-at-rpi-should-be-on-students-radar

The above article was written by a recent graduate of one of RPI’s sororities and a leader in student government. If you don’t want to listen to me, at least read her article. Anyways, peace out! I hope you all choose a college that respects your freedom of speech and association!
