ALUMNI | Purdue Triangle NEW

Triangle is a Brotherhood for a lifetime that spans the globe and connects thousands of men with our Mission, Ethics, and Values.

For many alumni, our undergraduate days were among the best of our lives. We made lifelong friends who have shared in our triumphs and were supportive in our times of need. We learned life lessons that have allowed us to be leaders in our communities, in business, and in the family. Our alma mater may have given us knowledge, but Triangle taught us how to live with great energy, strong ethics, and passion. We must nurture the lifetime Triangle experience of our Brothers today so that we may foster the potential for success within our Brothers tomorrow.

Triangle prioritizes making connections between Brothers from similar geographic regions, of similar backgrounds, and in similar professional fields, regardless of their graduation date. We offer a Brotherhood for a lifetime experience to all brothers providing opportunities in the areas of fellowship, professional development, volunteerism, and mentoring

Grand Prix 2025 Weekend – Saturday, April 26th, 2025

The 68th Purdue Grand Prix Race will be held Saturday, April 26th, 2025. Seniors Andrew Morin and Randall Hubbell II have been busy, competing in several races this year to sharpen their driving skills. With their dedication and team commitment, Triangle Racing is a top contender this season! Our dual kart team will be working over the winter to bring an even faster racing package for this season! We'll see you at the race this spring.

Please contact Randall at randall928@gmail.com for details on how to support the team. Or donate directly to the “Purdue- Grand Prix Charitable Fund” in the “Chapter Restricted Funds” pulldown menu on the Triangle Education Fund website.

Alumni Opportunities

There are many ways that Alumni can get reengaged with the Fraternity. We have expanded the Board and have roles for one on one coaches for Actives. We have individual committees on the board focused on Alumni Engagement; Communications; Information Technology; Professional Development; and, Assistance to the Actives in recruiting to name a few.

Look at the list of brothers currently on the two boards, there is a good chance you know one of several from your days at Purdue. Reach out, join us - the more the merrier. And feel free to send a note of interest to Oak Stevens - current president of the Alumni Organization at president@purduetriangle.com

Alumni Needed for Career Networking with Actives

One of Purdue Triangle’s greatest assets is you – 1700 Alumni – most with amazing careers in world-leading companies. If we want to get the Active Chapter to align with the Vision of Triangle, shouldn’t we enable those Actives to connect with Alumni who have achieved that Vision for themselves and their families?

We have established a “Big Brother” program that will connect current Chapter Actives with one or two Alumni to help mentor on all aspects of campus and professional life. How much time commitment are we asking? On average, about 1-2 hours per month for 3-4 times per year. If you had anything like the experience I had at Triangle while at Purdue, doesn’t that seem like a minor “pay back” worth making? If you can donate your time for career networking with the Actives, please email Nate Kerr, Alumni Board VP, at vicepresident@purduetriangle.com with your name, major, current employer, mobile phone and home mailing address. Nate is available to answer any questions you may have regarding this program.
