The Mansion Experience has begun




Yesterday was a day which will be long remembered in Alpha Pi. The chapter officially moved into the Mansion at 2000 North Broad. And Mansion is the correct word: the house has 14 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 3 massive common rooms, a large kitchen, and a huge basement. It is the largest fraternity house on campus, the nicest fraternity house on campus, and the closest fraternity house to campus. It solidifies AEPi's role as the leader of Greek organizations on campus, and gives us the opportunity to dominate all aspects of campus life. But, we are keenly aware that while a house helps, the fraternity makes the house and not the other way around. This doesn't mean we won't have to try as hard, as we will have to try harder to live up to the lofty expectations with us being in the Mansion. Thank you to our terrific landlords, Dan Grossmann (Past Master, Class of 1983) and Rabbi Joe Domosh for their diligence in preparing the house. We invite everyone, especially alumni and parents, to come visit us. We are fortunate, excited, and most of all, ready to dominate this University. AEPi has found a home at Temple University for years to come, and hundreds of brothers, current, alumni, and future, will benefit from the Mansion.
