Rensselaer Society of Engineers
The Rensselaer Society of Engineers (RSE) is a social fraternity founded in 1866 at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY.

 Arriving on campus at about the same time as some of the first fraternities, it has remained one of the oldest “local” organizations in the U.S. RSE is the only independent fraternity at Rensselaer.
 They have chosen to remain independent to maintain the freedom to set their own policies and make their own managerial decisions.

 Society members are active in not only campus and local activities, but are also in many national organizations.
