The brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi opened their doors to Drexel University faculty and staff May 28.
Attendees were provided with a tour of the fraternity house, dinner and a presentation about the Drexel chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi.
Interim President C.R. "Chuck" Pennoni and his wife made their first official visit to a Greek Life open house and Greek Life function that evening.
According to Alex Mandel, Alpha Epsilon vice president, Pennoni left with a positive perspective about at Drexel.
In addition, the brothers and Drexel Hillel worked collectively to throw a 100th birthday party for Tel Aviv May 31.
Students, staff and local community members spent the afternoon on the volleyball courts, enjoying the Israeli food and music provided.
"These types of events are so important because it gives us a unique opportunity to get past what's said in the media and show the Drexel community what Israel and Israeli culture is all about," Mike Kelley, an Alpha Epsilon Pi brother, said.
In addition, Israeli Bazooka bubble gum, soda and literature were available to attendees.
Alpha Epsilon Pi brother Aaron Freyer thanked everyone for coming out that day to support the event and to celebrate an important year in the history of Tel Aviv.
Over 250 people attended the beach-themed birthday bash.
Sigma Beta Rho meets
chapter goals with awards
Sigma Beta Rho won the Student Life award for New Student Organization of the Year May 20.
In addition, the chapter won Chapter of the Year for the Multicultural Greek Council earlier in the month.
"Receiving the Multicultural Greek Council recognition was a huge step in our goal to become a contributing organization on this campus," Sagar Shah, a Sigma Beta Rho brother, said. "We have established solid, professional relationships with other fraternal organization on campus, and hope our network will set the foundation to further our reach in this great city."

"We feel that our actions symbolize the pure reasoning behind the formation of fraternities; to make a difference in the world," Shah said. "The feeling of being a benefactor to constructive change is remarkable, and it's that sincerity that drives us and other Greek organizations to continue in making a difference in our society."
