Hello, my name is Tyler Kalemba, Vice President of our colony. I am a Mechanical and Aerospace dual major planning on graduating in the spring of 2027. I grew up in a small town in California named Penngrove. I'm currently living in the QUAD dorms on campus. I look forward to the opportunity to grow our colony into an amazing chapter on campus and establish a brotherhood we’re all proud of. |

Hi my name is Zion Joseph de Goes, I am the Director of Standards. I'm an electrical engineering major graduating in 2028, I hope to get into the field of robotics and start my professional journey soon. I'm a global citizen born in Silver Springs Maryland and have moved around most of my life. RPI has been really rewarding so far and I'm sure the colony will be the same. |

Greetings, my name is Jonah Rood Creel and I'm the risk manager of the crescent colony. I'm an electrical engineering major graduating with a bachelor's in 2028 and hopefully a masters in 2029. After graduation, I'm hoping to get a job at an audio company (Denon, McIntosh, etc.). I was born in Syracuse, NY, so l've been local to upstate NY for most of my life. Right now, I'm living in Barton hall but am super hyped to move into the shelter where I can properly store my comically large capacitor collection (size wise, not quantity). I'm looking forward to making sure that fun is had at our chapter in a safe way that brings us closer together.

Hello, My name is Charles Meza, I am the finance director of the newly founded colony. My major is physics and graduating class of 2028, though the specifics of my career are not yet defined. I was born in San Diego CA, and have lived in various places, but I usually say Bakersfield as it is my most recent home location. I am very excited for this project and hope to work with brothers and alumni to make the most out of this opportunity. |
