Alpha Epsilon Pi

Alpha Epsilon Pi (ΑΕΠ or AEPi) is currently the only international Jewish college fraternity in the United States. It currently has 111 active chapters and 8 colonies, but those numbers fluctuate as new chapters and colonies are added or as chapters become inactive.

History

AEPi was founded in 1913 at New York University (NYU) by Charles C. Moskowitz and 10 other young, Jewish men. These men were Isador M. Glazer, Herman L. Krauss, Arthur E. Leopold, Arthur M. Lipkint, Emil Lustgarten, Benjamin M. Meyer, Charles J. Pintel, Maurice Plager, David K. Schafer, and Hyman Shulman. Their first pledge was Samuel L. Epstein. Charles Moskowitz was a fine basketball player and had just transferred to NYU from the City College of New York. Several NYU fraternities expressed interest in him and one gave him a bid. When Charles asked if his close Jewish friends could join as well, he was told that the invitation was for him alone. At this point, the group of 11 men began meeting regularly in the German rathskellar. Official school recognition of AEPi was granted on November 7. The founding members always intended for AEPi to be a national fraternity. Long before the second chapter, the NYU group was designated "Alpha Chapter." In 1917, a local fraternity Phi Tau became the Beta Chapter of AEPi.
