I'm originally from Queens, New York, and I'm currently studying Aerospace Engineering at RPI. Within the chapter, I'm Lt. Don's little and I'm also serving as our Recruitment Chair. Outside of school, I love to play sports, especially tennis, and travel.  Looking forward to meeting you all in person during alumni weekend! Dory (AJ Schenna) This is Dory I am one of the newest members from the Upsilon Chapter. I am a sophomore majoring in electrical engineering major with no specific focus yet. My hobbies vary including things such as tech, athletics / outdoor activities, as well as cooking which I currently do at the house. Grouper (Edward Shulman) Hello, my name is Edward Shulman and I am a Math and Econ Dual Major graduating in 2029. I come from Wayne, New Jersey and currently live in the house. I am excited to meet more alumni during AWE, and to help grow our chapter. UAA Giving Hub: New fundraising goals!! We have new fundraising drives on the UAA Giving Hub! The giving hub is the place to donate and keep up to date on the status of all fundraising drives the UAA is running. The 2026 Shelter Renovation Fund  The Shelter Renovation Fund supports gifts that improve and modernize the house for current and future brothers. These upgrades create spaces that promote brotherhood, community, and pride in Upsilon. This year we’re raising funds to bring a full size golf simulator to the shelter. While it would be a great stress reliever in between classes (and AWE events) the simulator is also a powerful recruitment tool, giving prospective members another reason to walk through our doors and see Upsilon as a place where brotherhood and modern living come together. The Brotherhood Fund Our evergreen Brotherhood Fund needs your support! College is expensive. Restarting a chapter is hard! The Brotherhood Fund’s goal is to raise money to subsidize house bills for newly initiated brothers living in the shelter. This fundraising campaign aims to defray 25% of the year-one house bill for each new member.  Donate today!
