The Quarterly

Brother Mariano Salcedo of the Epsilon Theta Chapter at MIT was recently profiled for his work exploring the intersection of music and artificial intelligence. A member of MIT’s inaugural Music Technology and Computation graduate cohort, Salcedo is researching how AI can generate music-responsive visuals that enhance the listening experience. The 2025 graduate was also selected to deliver the student address at MIT’s 2026 Advanced Degree Ceremony and recently presented his research at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence conference in Singapore.

On October 12, brothers from the Epsilon Theta Chapter at MIT, led by alumnus Elijah Bell, took part in the Walk Across Rhode Island, a 36-mile, 65,000-step trek that raised $4,243 for charity. The event, co-founded in 2022 by Brother Bell and three high school friends, began as a lighthearted challenge but has since grown into an annual fundraiser for malaria prevention. Since its inception, the Walk has raised more than $15,000 to support lifesaving efforts around the world.

Congratulations and Hi Rickety to Epsilon Theta Chapter Brother Anthony Donegan (pictured second from left), who earned First Place at HackMIT, MIT’s annual hackathon.
