The Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity was founded to provide opportunities for Jewish men seeking the best possible social, college, and fraternity experience. AEPi has maintained the integrity of our purpose by strengthening our ties to the Jewish community while serving as a social link between UCD students. We send brothers to Israel and support Jewish life on campus, and also help our brothers in developing leadership skills, while still making time to be social. Currently we are the largest social fraternity in California and the last remaining Jewish fraternity in the US.
The Chi Delta Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi was founded at UC Davis in 1987 and currently has over 70 active brothers! We have remained true to our roots, maintaining strong ties with the UC Davis Jewish community by being active with Hillel and the Jewish Student Union. At the same time, we are an active social fraternity, offering exchanges, frequent gatherings and brotherhood events, retreats to nearby areas and other chapters, camping and whitewater rafting, philanthropy events, and IM sports.
Our house is located at the corner of 4th and C St, right next to Central Park and only minutes from campus!
Some of our most successful philanthropies include the "Ducks For Bucks" Rubber Duck Race, for which we raised over $4000, and the Iration concert, an indie reggae concert which we had in our very own backyard. Our most recent philanthropy was "Dumps for Dollars," an annual event involving our lawn and a pony, during which we raised almost $4000! The main goal of these events is to raise funds for our national philanthropies: the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Chai Lifelinene's Camp Simcha, and the Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
The Shaare Zedek Medical Center is a children's hospital in Jerusalem with whom we have recently been working, using philanthropic events such as the Iration concert to raise money for this worthy cause. If you would like to make a donation to Shaare Zedek, please click the following link. Any amount you are able to give would be greatly appreciated! http://www.acsz.org/davis
We know how to have fun, but we also take academics seriously. As a fraternity, we currently hold the second-highest overall cumulative GPA of all IFC fraternities, above a 3.0! Our brothers have majors ranging across Aeronautical Engineering, Computer Science, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Genetics, Economics, Biological Sciences, and many more. Chances are, there's going to be a brother who has taken the classes that you're in. As such, the brotherhood can become a valuable resource for studying and class information/help. We make sure to keep our own grades up, but we also help each other out whenever a fellow brother may need it.
We have brothers involved in all aspects of campus life, including leadership, employed, and volunteer positions with the UCD Taekwondo Team, the Davis Cycling Team, Hillel House, the ARC, various labs on campus, and the Coffee House, just to name a few.
Chi Delta also won an outstanding community service recognition award from the UC Davis campus last year for our philanthropic efforts and events.
Overall, we have a thriving and dedicated brotherhood, and we welcome you to help us continue Chi Delta's tradition of excellence.
