Rush AEPi!
What is Rush?
Rush stirs the fraternity into action at the beginning of each semester. We toss footballs, savor barbecued treats at Hillel, watch standup comics, compete in billiards, and best of all, we invite everybody to join us! See, rush is our fraternity's opportunity to meet new students (or older students with budding interest in greek life), and their opportunity to meet us. Students who attend various rush events are interested in getting to know the brothers of AEPi. Likewise, the brothers attend rush to meet people who are interested in joining the fraternity and to judge who they would like to offer bids to. Rush concludes with AEPi offering bids to various students, the first step on the road to brotherhood.
Who attends?
The easy answer: anybody who loves to have fun. The more complete answer: There are two types of people that attend our rush events. Everyone is invited to join us in our festivities, and many people come just to have fun. There is also the group of people interested in learning about life with AEPi; those people make an extra effort to attend rush events and to spend time talking with brothers. Often, a person will initially have no intention of rushing a fraternity but will enjoy the events so much that their interest begins to grow. So there is no need to attend a rush event with the intention of eventually receiving a bid, but be forewarned: our brotherhood is temptingly fun.
Why AEPi?
The Alpha Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi was founded in 1913, and it continues to be active on the NYU campus. Our emphasis on community service exemplifies Alpha chapter's dedication to the founding principles of Alpha Epsilon Pi: courage, faith, and truth.
Our social schedule keeps us busy all year long. Parties, semi-formal and Formal give us the chance to relax and have a great time. In addition, we leave room in our schedule for random parties and road trips.
Our chapter has active alumni support. We keep in contact with our alumni and also with the national organization. Networking is important to all brothers as we recognize the potential benefits of brotherhood, post-graduation. Alpha Epsilon Pi alumni all over the country provide a solid foundation in the uncertain "job search" times around and after graduation.
Alpha Epsilon Pi looks for people who have something to offer the fraternity. We encourage our brothers and our new initiates to be active on campus as well, and we have brothers involved in a wide array of activities including the IGC, IFC, Hillel, and most Jewish groups.
Rushing Alpha Epsilon Pi only involves meeting the brothers. We're a tight group, but if you like to feel like you can just be yourself and feel right at home, we might be the place for you. We'd love to get a chance to know you, so come out to our rush events!
