Alpha Epsilon Pi

Sigma Alpha Chapter

AEPi group portrait

Since our founding in 1913, more than 102,000 men have worn the badge of Alpha Epsilon Pi and each year, thousands of undergraduates perform the Ritual of Initiation, which remains the same ritual adopted decades ago.

The mission of Alpha Epsilon Pi is to provide education, resources and training to the future leaders of the world’s Jewish communities. Alpha Epsilon Pi was founded to provide opportunities for Jewish men seeking the best possible college and fraternity experience.

We provide the opportunity for a Jewish man to be able to join an organization whose purpose is not specifically religious, but rather social and cultural in nature.

Alpha Epsilon Pi is a Jewish fraternity and brotherhood that is open to all who are willing to espouse its values and mission.
