Delta Rho celebrates 100 years of AEPi

It's been 100 years since AEPi was founded and they had a celebratory convention to commemorate the occasion. The opening reception for the convention occurred at NYU, where was AEPi first started.

To pay tribute to its roots the opening reception, the opening reception took place at New York University, the birthplace of AEPi. In addition to the opening reception, the trip to NYU's campus also included a group photo at the opening reception. Following the photo we were bussed to the boats where we all enjoyed dinner and a tour around Manhattan.





The next days main event was Shabbat dinner on the aircraft carrier the intrepid. On the carrier we enjoyed dinner while exploring all the exhibits. The meal led directly to the Shabbat programming by honoring all of the Alpha Epsilon Pi veterans. Delta Rho was very fortunate to be able to honor one of its own members that was present at the convention, Dmitry Voznyak, who is part of the Naval ROTC program at the University of Pennsylvania.

Saturday began with the Partners and award lunch where we were thrilled when Zachary Cohen was announced as the winner for Master of the Year, a major accomplishment for both Zac and Delta Rho. Later that evening we attended the black tie Centennial Gala. At the gala we had the privilege of hearing from many distinguished alumni and guests including CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

Shortly after the lunch was the gala banquet. Wolf Blitzer, and various other guests, made appearances at the banquet. It was a very proud moment to be an AEPi!

We were also proud that we had an extremely large delegation at convention, consisting of approximately 15 undergraduate brothers, and 10 alumni.
Here's looking forward to another great convention next year!

ASA joins AEPi at JRA

Yesterday (8/4), Alpha Epsilon Pi and Alpha Sigma Alpha went on our monthly trip to JRA.

Early Sunday morning, 10 brothers woke up early to pack boxes of food at JRA. Alpha Epsilon Pi was accompanied by several sisters of the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority.

Luckily, it was a beautiful morning out, so AEPi and ASA were able to enjoy some sun while packing the boxes. One of our brothers, Jesse Rosenstein, was able to help one of the delivery cars by making some extra deliveries while the rest of AEPi and ASA continued to pack boxes. After he returned, we loaded our own cars and headed to Spring Garden to make some deliveries of our own.

Another very successful JRA with AEPi and ASA is in the books!

Week 5 Update

This week, AEPi Delta Rho was jam packed with events. Starting on Wednesday July 17^th, we had a BBQ with the lovely ladies of Phi Sigma Sigma. The grill was lit at 6 PM, marking the beginning of the evening. The BBQ had plenty of hot dogs and included a variety of lawn games such as ladder ball and corn hole. Over 15 brothers showed up! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible.

    We had a very successful brotherhood event at Skyzone on Saturday.  Skyzone is an indoor trampoline park in Oaks, PA. Our brothers had a ton of fun playing dodgeball, dunking on the basketball hoops, and jumping into the foam pits. Although there are some bumps and bruises from the trip, everybody had a great time.

    After jumping around on the trampolines at Skyzone, some of the brothers ended up enjoying a brotherhood dinner at Cheeburger Cheeburger. An amazing feat was witnessed there, Alumnus Jared Hurwich, along with Undergraduate Oren Kanel, ate the biggest burger available there, the Pounder.

    Other social events this week included a social with Delta Zeta. The theme was “Christmas in July”. It was Brother Social Chairman Jesse Rosenstein's and Social Chair Asher Breverman's first social together and it was executed perfectly!  Snaps to them!

    Athletics this week involved horseshoes and volleyball. In volleyball this Friday, we beat Apple Pi in a glorious victory, but fell to the brothers of Sig-Ep. But thankfully on Saturday, we redeemed ourselves with a horseshoes triumph over Sig-Ep.  Good job to everyone who played.

    Although this is the Summer quarter, our brothers are certainly doing their best to keep this chapter very active. Thank you to all of the event planners and participants.

You stay classy Delta Rho.

Brotherhood Hike and JRA

Welcome to Delta Rho's new blog!

This week in AEPi, there were two main events that our brothers participated in, our summer hike and of course our monthly JRA.

The hike took place at Evansburg State park on this past Saturday, July 6th. There were 5 brothers that took came out to enjoy the fun in the sun that is the state park. We enjoyed the hike through the park, and eventually lunch and a break near the lake. Some of the brothers did go swimming and luckily they all made it back alive due to a slight miscommunication in the directions (ie: Mark Koh got everybody lost).

The next day, the brotherhood woke up at 9AM sharp to make it to our community service event at the Jewish Relief Agency (JRA). There were 11 brothers came out to help the cause even though it was a sweltering 93 degrees outside. We all successfully loaded the cars and then made a few deliveries.           

After JRA, a few brothers and Alumni went out to the 4th Street Deli. It was a great weekend for AEPi Delta Rho.
