Mission:

At Alpha Epsilon Pi, our mission is to offer men the opportunity to join a Jewish fraternity dedicated to molding the future leaders of the world. Alpha Epsilon Pi is a non-discriminatory fraternity, but demonstrates its support for Jewish communities and Israel through tzedakah (charity), acts of brotherhood, and social awareness.

Our mission is to develop future leaders in the Jewish community. This is demonstrated every day through acts of brotherhood, Tzedakah, social awareness, and support for Jewish communities and Israel. While we are a Jewish fraternity, we are non-discriminatory and open to anyone willing to espouse our values and mission.

We at the Omicron Sigma colony emphasize the strength and importance of brotherhood. Not only are we brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi, but also we are a close-knit group of friends who pride themselves on respect for their fellow peers.

Organization Information:

Alpha Epsilon Pi was founded on November 7th, 1913 at New York University after 11 Jewish men were rejected from joining any other fraternities on campus because they were Jewish.

Currently, Alpha Epsilon Pi is international, with chapters in the United States of America, Canada, Israel, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Austria. AEPi has a presence in nearly 160 chapters in the United States and is the 8th largest fraternity by active chapters.

Colors: Gold and Blue

Philanthropy:

AEPi's official philanthropy program, the Repair the World Fund, is committed to supporting Jewish causes to reinforce the Jewish ideal of Tikkun Olam – repairing the world. As a local chapter, we have split proceeds from our annual philanthropy, AEPuppies, between the Repair the World Fund and Heartland Humane Society.
