== Union Recognition ==
The [[Rensselaer Union]] organizes and oversees most clubs at RPI. The Union [[Executive Board]] designates clubs as recognized, funded, or affiliated. Recognized and funded clubs are constituted under the Union, with the only distinction being that funded clubs recieve an operating budget from the Executive Board. Affiliated clubs are constituted under other Institute departments, and are acknowledged by the Union to be granted some benefits the Union offers to its subsidiary clubs, such as support from Union staff, the right to reserve Union-managed event spaces, and Union gift accounts.

In addition to granting recognized clubs some rights, the Union also imposes some rules on its clubs. All Union-recognized and funded clubs must be open to all members of the Union, and are prohibited from maintaining external financial accounts. These rules do not apply to affiliated clubs.

Revision as of 18:54, 25 June 2026

For a relatively small school, RPI boasts a large number of student clubs and organizations. Due to the ephemeral nature of the populations of every student organization, all lists of clubs will become outdated. This list likely contains some clubs that are no longer active, and is missing some that are, but it will track as many of them as possible.

Union Recognition

The Rensselaer Union organizes and oversees most clubs at RPI. The Union Executive Board designates clubs as recognized, funded, or affiliated. Recognized and funded clubs are constituted under the Union, with the only distinction being that funded clubs receive an operating budget from the Executive Board. Affiliated clubs are constituted under other Institute departments, and are acknowledged by the Union to be granted some benefits the Union offers to its subsidiary clubs, such as support from Union staff, the right to reserve Union-managed event spaces, and Union gift accounts.

In addition to granting recognized clubs some rights, the Union also imposes some rules on its clubs. All Union-recognized and funded clubs must be open to all members of the Union, and are prohibited from maintaining external financial accounts. These rules do not apply to affiliated clubs.

The Union also sorts clubs into categories. These categories have little effect on the Union's operations with a few key exceptions, and are mainly for the benefit of students and for the Union's organization. However, some of them come with specific rights or restrictions:

  • Religious and Political clubs may not be funded
  • Student Government organizations may not endorse candidates for public office, and are defined by the Union Constitution. Many members are elected to student government during Grand Marshal Week
  • Sports and Performing/Visual Arts clubs can select members for competitive teams based on tryouts, provided that they are fair and publicized
    • These clubs must reasonably allow any member of the Union to participate in non-competitive club activities, such as practices and training sessions
  • Honor/Professional can select members based on academic performance
