Welcome to Alpha Phi Omega! This chapter, Epsilon Zeta, was chartered in 1947, and we have been serving the campus and the community ever since. We run a campus wide Lost and Found service, have an extensive library of back exams to study from and run the campus Book Exchange, which allows students to sell their textbooks to other students at their own price!
Our Office Hours are as follows: Monday - Friday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
If you would like to pledge APO or would like more information please email us at: apo@union.rpi.edu.

Just before Mother’s Day, Purnell was diagnosed with Neimann Pick Type A, a rare neurodegenerative disease that is similar to Alzheimer’s Disease. It is unlikely that Purnell will live past June 30 unless his family raises $750,000 by then for the Wylder National Foundation, which is funding research for the cure and the experimental new treatment. As of June 19, they have raised $420,000.
Purnell’s relatives are members of the Troy and RPI communities. His grandfather and great grandfather attended RPI, and his great aunt currently works in the Rensselaer Union.
