Tau Epsilon Phi - Epsilon Iota

TEP's brothers come from a large variety of majors and backgrounds, with an even broader spectrum of interests. This provides the house with a rich history.

The Brothers

Tau Epsilon Phi boasts a very close group of brothers and a tight-knit group of house friends from other Greek houses, RPI's campus, and even other Capital Region colleges. The brotherhood currently consists of 18 active brothers. Each semester, a brother or two may opt to be inactive during a semester for co-ops and studying abroad. The House

Located on 15th street, the TEP house w

as previously owned by Greek societies Chi Phi and Alpha Phi, along with RPI itself. Currently, the house provides boarding for nine, but has frequent visitors. Some notable rooms in the house include the living room equipped with stadium seating, a gamer's lounge, a furnished balcony, and the "Len Goldschmidt Beer and Fellatio Parlor" named after an alumnus of the house, which is used for many house dinners and rush events. The house can support up to 14 live-ins, but normally fluctuates between 7 and 10 residents. History

Tau Epsilon Phi was founded at Columbia University on October 19, 1910 by ten Jewish men seeking a brotherhood free from exclusion based on race, religion, or creed. Since it's conception, Tau Epsilon Phi flourished into a strong fraternity, with over 60 chapters founded across the eastern United States, and an international chapter, located at McGill university. During the 1970's TEP, like most other, fraternities, struggled with membership numbers and many chapters unfortunately closed, the Epsilon Iota chapter included. In 1990, after the efforts of a new group of brothers, the Epsilon Iota chapter was refounded at RPI. However, due to events starting in the mid-90's the Epsilon Iota chapter broke away from the national organization and founded Tau Epsilon Pi in the fall of 2009, dedicated to the preservation of the customs and ideals of the fraternity the chapter loves. Following the removal of a corrupt national officer in 2010, Tau Epsilon Phi was back on it's feet and on June 1, 2011 the Epsilon Iota chapter rejoined the ranks of their fellow Tau Boys from a total of 14 chapters on the east coast.
