12 Alpha Pi Brothers in LA for Community Service Spring Break

This past week was Temple's spring break. The international fraternity sponsored a community service trip to Los Angeles, CA. Out of the 25 brothers selected to participated for this FREE trip to LA were 12 Alpha Pi brothers. The group stayed at a Jewish camp in Malibu and went into the city daily to perform different types of service including painting community centers, preparing meals at soup kitchens, entertaining underprivileged children, etc. It was definitely an eye opening experience for the brothers who got to see a completely different side of life. The trip wasn't all work-everyone also got the chance to tour different parts of the city including Hollywood. The brothers were also there during the holiday of Purim and got to celebrate with not only others on the trip but also with brothers living in the Los Angeles area. Suffice to say, it made for one ridiculous bus ride. The group also had the chance to hang out with our AEPi chapters at UCLA and Northridge. Overall, it was an incredible trip and a great way to spend Spring Break.

Congrats Phi Deuteron

The Phi Deuteron Pledge Class became brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity last night with the ritual ceremony at 2000 North Broad, the first of many pledge classes to be initiated in the Mansion on the Corner. The chapter now has 61 undergraduate brothers and over 725 alumni brothers. The new brothers are: Dan Lyons, Aaron Wolf, Rob Farber, Alex Gionet, Jason Hoffman, Tyler Seidman, Alex Lassoff, Ziv Noah, Shane Gottlieb, Scott Levine, Max Lieberman, Dave Paley, Daniel Israel, and Michael Stoll.

Phi Deuteron Pledge Class Inducted

Yesterday night, the chapter inducted 14 pledges in the ritual ceremony. The new pledges are: Jason Hoffman, Daniel Israel, Tyler Seidman, Michael Stoll, Max Lieberman, Dan Lyons, Scott Levine, Alex Lassoff, Ziv Noah, Aaron Wolf, Shane Gottleib, Alex Gionet, Rob Farber, and Dave Paley. Their Pledge Master is Jeff Gutkin (class of 2010), who has prepared a sound pledge program that will prepare the pledges to be great brothers. Past Master Dan Grossmann (Class of 1984) was on hand and participated in the ceremony. The chapter was able to conduct the ceremony in our soon to be home: 2000 North Broad Street, which drastically improved the seriousness, importance, and impact of the ceremony.
