The Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) Fraternity at USC is more than just a fraternity—it’s a lifelong brotherhood rooted in Jewish values, leadership, and community service. AEPi offers students a strong support network while upholding the fraternity’s commitment to Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and strengthening Jewish identity.
There are many ways to engage with Jewish life at USC. Whether you’re looking for friendship, leadership opportunities, spiritual growth, or a deeper connection to Judaism, you’ll find your place at Hillel, Chabad, Gamecocks for Israel, and AEPi.
