Vision Statement: Make premium contributions to our community and student life at RIT by fostering men who forever lead in academic excellence, collegiate patriotism, community service and fraternal pride.
Our chapter at RIT is composed of "Leaders by Choice" striving to redefine Fraternity as a lifelong brotherhood of committed leaders in the classroom, in the community, and amongst our peers. We are composed of members from the hearing, hard of hearing, and deaf communities; currently the largest leading Fraternity on campus.

I Believe that the ideal chapter is made up of men
Who are bound together in a common loyalty
which transcends any personal selfishness.Who realize that membership means personal responsibility
in bearing their share of the financial burden
of the chapter and the national organization.Who bring credit to the fraternity by striving to attain
the highest possible standards of scholarship.Who safeguard the reputation of their chapter
by keeping careful watch over their personal conduct.Who uphold faithfully the
traditions and activities of their college.Who prepare themselves diligently to shoulder their
full responsibility as citizens.I Believe that my chapter can become an ideal chapter, and I shall do my share to make it so.
