Who We Are and Why Join AEPi?

First and foremost, we are a group of friends: a group of friends who live together, eat together, work together, and hang out together. We are men who seek to enhance our college experience, complimenting our academic pursuits by providing a fun and supportive environment that allows us to thoroughly enjoy everything that the University of Minnesota and the Twin Cities have to offer.

Our brothers benefit from being in an organization in which we offer each other academic and emotional support. We learn how an organization functions and how it takes every man pulling his weight to make it operate smoothly. We are the leaders of Jewish life on campus, and we encourage each other to try new things, to be spontaneous, and to have our house be a place where we can escape the stress that often comes with our rigorous academic course load.

Whether it be going to the gym to workout or play sports together, going to see a movie or a ballgame together, doing homework together, or even just lending a helping hand during rough times, we are always there for each other.

AEPi is a diverse group of UMN undergrads across years, interests, majors, and backgrounds. Brothers build friendships and connections that last a lifetime.
AEPi brothers can explore Judaism culturally, spiritually, and socially in a unique way, complementing Minnesota’s diverse Jewish community.
AEPi brothers enjoy opportunities to try things they’ve always wanted to, from jousting to community service projects, while building close friendships.
AEPi’s brotherhood is built upon the integrity of our brothers, and respect for each other and the UMN community. Unlike other fraternities, there is NO HAZING.

Brotherhood

AEPi has a lot to offer each of its members. The first and foremost reason to join is the exceptional brotherhood that will become a cornerstone of your life. In AEPi you will make loyal friends with whom you will share your college experience and form memories that will last a lifetime. We are a diverse group of men, yet men are all drawn together by similar experiences and values. These similarities along with the multitude of college experiences that we will share together, such as social events, philanthropies, athletics, etc, allow us to form lifelong bonds that we call Brotherhood.

Academics

In Alpha Epsilon Pi, we take our education VERY seriously. The Mu Upsilon chapter has consisted held one of the top GPA's in the Greek community here in Minnesota. We have a newly renovated study room where brothers can find a quiet space to work togther or independently and have many brothers around the house always willing to lend a helping hand in almost any subject. At no time will anyone be asked to sacrifice their grades for any chapter event, as your education is the #1 priority. All brothers of our chapter have to adhere to our scholarship guidelines and minimum GPA standards. Also, many of our brothers continue onto graduate, law and medical schools.

Social

Alpha Epsilon Pi is a social organization. We provide a healthy outlet in which students can enjoy college while still getting excellent grades. While our social events never interfere with our educations, we always have a good time. Under a normal semester, have exchanges with sororities, hold an annual formal, and consistently have house parties and other great events.

Networking

Joining a fraternity is a great advantage for your future. You will meet a diverse group of friends who are interested in the same career fields as you are. Older members can help you choose which classes to take, offer advice on graduate schools and admissions tests, and help you in the grad school application process. Also, there are many AEPi alumni (graduated brothers) who already have successful careers in a wide variety of fields. These alumni enjoy helping out fellow brothers and a break like this could make a huge difference in your future.

Leadership

A primary goal of Alpha Epsilon Pi is to turn our young men into leaders. The fraternity is a structured organization with many positions that require responsibility and leadership. Our chapter has brothers in executive positions across Greek, Jewish, and campus student groups and organizations. Members will find many opportunities to become leaders, take on responsibility, and network with leaders of other Greek and campus organizations.
