UALBANY CHAPTER OF ALPHA EPSILON PI IS CHARTERED BY INTERNATIONAL
FRATERNITY
The Alpha Nu Chapter of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity at the
University at Albany was chartered on Saturday, April 24, 2004, at a
dinner ceremony at the Quality Inn in Albany.
Past International Master (President) of AEPi and current University at
Albany Hillel President, Jonathan Pierce, presided over the chartering
for the local chapter of this Jewish fraternity, which is celebrating
its 91st anniversary this year, having over 123 chapters and colonies on
its rolls and a membership of over 77,000.
Pierce said how pleased he was that Alpha Nu, which originally started
as a fraternity at UAlbany in 1984 but had become inactive in the
mid-1990’s, has sprung to life in the last five years and became
eligible to become an officially chartered chapter this year. “It is a
tribute to the men of Alpha Nu that they worked hard to attract a strong
pledge class and a solid group of officers to move the fraternity
forward into to the future. I am particularly appreciative of the
efforts of outgoing Master Shawn Hindes to bring the chapter to this
place. ”
Past Master of the chapter, Mike Lewis, served as master of ceremonies
at the dinner which attracted over 100 current and former fraternity
brothers and their friends and families. In addition to the chartering
ceremony, there were several awards given at the dinner:
Outstanding Brother: Rich Burg
