These are our awesome social and cultural groups that can be found on campus. Check us out at the BBQ during NSO Weekend. Email us to get involved.
AEPi is the premier, and only, Jewish fraternity on campus. Following in the tradition of our forefathers, we are a nomadic tribe – wandering between classes, parties, and the halls of power and influence on campus. That is to say, we are un-housed; spread all over Stanford residentially, academically, and socially. Whether you’re at a hackathon, a student government meeting, a Co-op dance party, or a theatre performance – you’re bound to see (and be impressed by) an AEPi brother. We’re an ambitious, intellectual bunch but we also like to have fun. We host parties, mixers, brotherhood chill sessions, as well as philanthropy and Jewish life programming. AEPi provides a comfortable environment to express, explore or ignore your Jewish identity. Reach out to Gideon Weiler (gweiler@stanford.edu) to hear more about Jewish-themed shenanigans.
