ouRPIs Coming Soon!

We've succesfully archived 86 editions of the ouRPI!  Most were scanned from Jay Webb's collection.  Frank Harrington also provided several 2000s-era soft copies to save us some time and effort.  Thanks to Jay and Frank! Once we finish reviewing them, we'll publish the link.  Some highlights we've seen so far:

  • The estimate to construct the wing in 1958 totaled $40,000 (almost $300,000 today)
  • A picture from the Christmas party in 1960, with the same seating arrangements and decorations as the present-day Christmas parties
  • "Little Sister Patty" in 1981
  • Two classic pictures of Troll, one in 1981 and another in 2000
  • Tricky Rick's CompuServe email address from 2000
?

While you're anxiously waiting the publication of the archives, you can sate yourself on the list of the editions, which can be found here.  If you have an ouRPI that is not on that list, please contact Michael Bruce to arrange for it to be added to the archives.

February Financial Reports Now Posted

Directors can access them here. As a follow-up to January's post: RPI paid us once in January, and once in the beginning of March. They recently provided us a list of their (and subsequently our) outstanding receivables, which was not provided at the time of the first payment. So, you'll see that there are two different files for accounts receivable: one as of 2/28/11 (which includes the first payment but not the second payment), and one as of 3/8/11 (which includes both payments).

Also, the January reports have been restated (to reflect the first payment's details) and can be found in the same folder.

Lots of New Pictures Posted

We uploaded a lot of new pictures to our Flickr account, including photos of:

  • A recruitment event in early 2007
  • Renovations over the summer of 2007
  • The convention in Lincoln, NE in summer 2007
  • The convention in Montreal, QC in summer 2008

All of the sets can be found here:

Our Condolences

The brothers of Zeta Psi would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Cole Matthew Rocque, a junior at RPI who passed away on Sunday, March 6. We join the rest of RPI's community in mourning the sudden loss of one of our fellow students. It is heartbreaking when any parent is forced to to bury a son, thus we wish them strength and courage during this incredibly trying time.
