AEPi is...
...Friendship.
But even more it is a brotherhood which soars high above the casual
friendships. It is often too intangible to explain.
...Diversity of membership which provides for a broader understanding and
acceptance of personality types and backgrounds.
...Teamwork. Being part of a group experience, too often lost on today's
campuses.
...Personal development. One can only develop fully when one has an
opportunity to interact with others...the education of self in relation to
others.
...Broadening of dimensions in college and personal life, service to
others, intellectual stimulation and encouragement, and cultural enrichment.
...Ideals. Fraternities embrace very basic ideals built on psychological
and sociological concepts. It comprises ritual...a pin...a belief in some of
the finer things this world can offer.
....Lifetime friendships and opportunities. Throughout the U.S. and Canada alumni groups offer loyal and
strong friendships.
....Pursuit of excellence. Excellence in responsible
behavior and citizenship to combat the moral jungle. Membership is not
for any and all - but for those who are willing to set
common goals and aspirations.
...Leadership. Students become actively involved in programs with
particular interest in their needs. Young people are going to be leaders;
almost nowhere is leadership training offered today as it is in fraternities.
...Responsibility to self, brothers, fraternity, university, and
community. With these responsibilities one develops pride in membership and an
opportunity to live beyond one's self.
...Scholastic help. Fraternities seek to help individuals develop
scholastically to their utmost - providing encouragement, study facilities, and
upperclassmen who help as tutors if desired.
...Individuality. Fraternities encourage individuality - they do not
breed conformity. Common purposes must be worked out, but creativity is always
encouraged!
