Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity

Students are heading back to campus and AEPi CEO Rob Derdiger offers some thoughts in this op-ed about what they -- and their parents -- can be doing to stay connected to their Jewish identity.

There is no single doorway to grow one’s Jewish identity. What matters is walking through one.

Know a potential future AEPi brother heading to campus this fall? Send us his name!

AEPi alumni and undergraduate brothers play an important role in helping our chapters find the next generation of Jewish leaders. If you know an incoming student who would be a great fit for Alpha Epsilon Pi, share his information with us so we can help connect him with the brothers on his campus. If there's not an active chapter on his campus, let us know because we might be starting up there soon!

And a special reminder for AEPi families: If an incoming student is an AEPi legacy, AEPi International Headquarters needs to receive his information at least two weeks before rush begins (on his campus) so we have enough time to communicate with the local chapter.

Help us build the future of AEPi...one brother at a time! https://aepi.org/rushrec/

Congratulations to the brothers of the Sigma Beta Chapter at UC - Santa Barbara (UCSB) on receiving the Louis Sherr Chapter of the Year Award! 🏆🏆

Sigma Beta had a transformative year, growing to nearly 70 brothers and strengthening Jewish life on campus through weekly Shabbat, holiday programming and close partnerships with Hillel and Chabad.

In the face of a troubling rise in antisemitism at UCSB — including harassment directed at their house and brothers — Sigma Beta refused to remain silent. The chapter documented and formally reported incidents, worked alongside Hillel and the ADL and advocated directly to university leadership on
behalf of Jewish students. Chapter President Jonah Chizinsky also brought that advocacy to the national level when he was invited to testify before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights about antisemitism on college campuses.

The brothers continue to work with the UCSB administration to better their relationship with the university and to work cooperatively to improve the campus climate for the Jewish community.

AEPi continued making an impact in countless other ways, raising more than $2,000 for philanthropy and helping a majority of the chapter earn CPR certification through a health fair co-hosted with UCSB Hillel.

Sigma Beta also made major strides in strengthening its alumni community, hosting an event that brought together more than 150 brothers across generations and building momentum toward the chapter’s 40th Anniversary reunion in 2027.
Through Jewish leadership, brotherhood, service, campus advocacy, and a growing connection between generations of AEPi brothers, Sigma Beta exemplifies what it means to be an Outstanding Chapter!

Mazel Tov, Brothers!

We are proud of that way that our brothers at UCSD are standing up to antisemitic hate!

“Hinei mah tov u’ma na’im, shevet achim gam yachad.”
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity.” — Psalm 133:1

As we welcome another Shabbat, we’re remembering how meaningful it was to celebrate together last week at in Phoenix…sharing a meal, lifting our voices in prayer and song, and experiencing the strength of our brotherhood as one AEPi family.

May the warmth and unity of that special evening remain with us!

Shabbat Shalom from Alpha Epsilon Pi!
