AEPi is the Jewish fraternity everywhere. When I was an UG, they made the best pizza in downtown Atlanta. Probably kept half of our brotherhood, including me, alive to a certain extent.
I honestly don't know how a "Jewish fraternity" works. Can they specifically exclude prospective members on the basis of religion and remain on campus? Or do they just assume that only Jews will want to pledge a Jewish fraternity and leave it there?
I joined my own fraternity because there was none of that. We had black brothers, Jewish brothers, a Hindu, a Buddhist, Asian brothers, a Puerto Rican from Puerto Rico, an Arab brother (guy from Riyadh; don't really know if he was Muslim, but who cares) and horrors of all horrors....Yankees. (Brooklyn and the greater Long Island area were well represented for some odd reason.) I was a guy from Colorado, which wasn't unusual for distance because we had guys from So Cal, Alaska and Maine. No women beyond "little sisters" or anyone we could fool into coming through our door, so there were limits to our great inclusiveness of course. Frankly we'd take Mohammet, Jugdish, Sidney and Clayton as long as they could pay the rent. And throw a football.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons
