BBQ on the roof of Hillel

Yesterday, our chapter hosted a free BBQ on the roof of the Hillel center. An evening full of kosher hotdogs to hamburgers was capped off with our very own brother, Josh Freed, DJing the event. Many people came out to the event and they all had a great time.  A special thanks goes out to Hillel for allowing us to hold this event.

Block Cleanup

On Sunday, some brothers of the Alpha Pi Chapter joined other campus Greeks in a block cleanup. The cleanup is mean't to give back to the community around us and help make a difference. From picking up trash to planting new flowers, the brothers showed that they care about their neighbors and the community as a whole.

Greek Sing 2012

Last night many brothers participated in a Temple Greek event called Greek Sing where all of the Greek organizations put on performances to promote Greek unity as part of Greek Week. After practicing for weeks and putting together a dance routine, they showed why AEPI is one of the top fraternities on campus and earned 2^nd place from the judges. The act was both entertaining and funny. Below is the video so you can watch it yourself:

Alpha Pi Block Cleanup

This past weekend, the brother of the Alpha Pi chapter joined together to give back to the Philadelphia community. Brothers aided local authorities in sweeping and cleaning a block of Carlise Street. Mutual helpfulness is one of the values held highest for Alpha Epsilon Pi and we're always trying to give back to the community in any way possible!

AEPi Police Appreciation Night

This past Tuesday, The Alpha Pi chapter gave back to the Temple University and Philadelphia Police Departments for all their hard work. Brothers brought donuts and coffee out to officers on duty and several boxes to the police station. Both Temple and Philadelphia Police play such a vital role in keeping students safe, it's only right to give back a little bit. To all the officers, thank you from the brothers of the Alpha Pi chapter of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity!

Alpha Pi Chapter Wins IFC Chapter of the Year!

We're proud to announce that the Alpha Pi chapter was awarded the Temple University Interfraternal Council Chapter of the Year award for the 2010-2011 academic year. It was an incredible year for the chapter and our presence grew even more throughout campus. With this recognition, Alpha Pi secures itself as the top fraternity here at Temple University. Thanks to everyone for making it a successful and award winning year!

Busy Times At Alpha Pi

It's been a busy and exciting few weeks here at Temple University. As the school year comes to a close, the men of the Alpha Pi chapter have been busier than ever.

Recently, Temple University, in conjunction with the Temple University Greek Association, held it's annual Greek Week. With events ranging from a block party to greek olympics, the Alpha Pi chapter had an amazing showing. We were proud to take home 3rd place overall!

Over the past few months, brothers Gavi Cohen and Nate Rosen have been working hard to put together a Holocaust Remembrance event. Last Wednesday, the culmination of their efforts came together for an incredible event held at the Hillel Center here on campus. The night included two incredible speakers, Anthony Morrone and Sarita Russ Gocial. Mr. Morrone was a United States soldier who was among the first to liberate the Buchenwald concentration camp. He was gracious enough to share his experience and remind us all of the horrific events that took place. Sarita Russ Gocial is a child of two Holocaust survivors. She has held many positions with various local and international organizations. For the past five years she has been Chair of Philadelphia’s Annual Memorial Ceremony for the Six Million Jewish Martyrs. This event was initiated by the Survivor community of Philadelphia in 1964 with the dedication of the Monument to the Six Million Jewish Martyrs; the first monument to the Six Million in the United States. Nate and Gavi did an amazing job and the event was a great experience as wel as a reminder that we can never forget the horrors of the Holocaust.

This past Sunday, Alpha Pi held it's annual Parenthood Day at the house. This great event allowed parents to come out and see the wonderful house and meet the brothers. Featuring a beautiful catered lunch and a video presentation, a great time was had by all!
