Chapter History

The Upsilon Kappa Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi was originally founded at the University of Connecticut in 1956. The chapter was re-founded at UCONN in 1995 after going inactive. Providing a breeding ground for tomorrows leaders and offering a great social experience proved to be an attractive package as the fraternity quickly grew to be one of the largest on campus. Today the Upsilon Kappa chapter not only runs one of the most successful philanthropies on campus, but works together with the Jewish community to bring a better understanding of our religious and historical past to our brothers and the UCONN campus.

National History

Alpha Epsilon Pi, or AEPi for short, was founded in 1913 under the Washington Square Arch at New York University by Charles C. Moskowitz and 10 other Jewish men: David K. Schafer, Isador M. Glazer, Herman L. Kraus, Arthur E. Leopold, Benjamin M. Meyer, Arthur M. Lipkint, Charles J. Pintel, Maurice Plager, Emil Lustgarden, and Hyman Schulman. Charles C. Moskowitz was a great basketball player who had just transferred to NYU’s School Of Commerce. Many fraternities on campus sought after him for his athletic prowess. Howeverwhen he asked whether or not his Jewish friends may also be extended invitations, he was told the invitation was for him alone. Being a man of strong character, Charles did not want to abandon his friends. Instead Charles and his ten friends began meeting at a restaurant regularly every week; and would eventually gain official school recognition as AEPi on November 7th, 1913. From these noble roots an international Fraternity was born that would one day span two continents and 12 chapters outside the United States. While originally founded as a Jewish fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi is non-discriminatory and welcomes any young man who is willing to espouse its purpose and values.

Our friends over at UConn Hillel have been undergoing some heavy renovations this past year. After a couple million dollars and some patient waiting Hillel is gearing up to re-open the doors to it's original building in the near future. Hillel will be fully moved back in to the renovated space by next semester and we look forward to being able to once again have a building that the UCONN Jewish community can call home.
