Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity

Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) is the world's Jewish college fraternity, developing leadership for the Jewish community and providing a home away from home for Jewish students around the world.

The Regional Director (RD) leads a region of chapters, vendors, and volunteers, by playing a vital role in the growth of Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) by developing a strategy and coordinating with all parties. The Regional Director is tasked with the holistic optimization of chapter operations and performance as defined by the “The Undergraduate Experience” document, the chapter operations manual, and other standard operating procedures as defined by the Fraternity by providing consistent high level consulting services. The RD will build relationships with key stakeholders from all of their chapters, their campuses, and their communities..

The RD will work within the chapter services team and will report directly to the Director of Campus Operations. RDs will work closely with the Director of Campus Operations but will regularly interface with various staff in order to promote educational, Jewish, Israel, civic, and leadership program initiatives, obtain specific resources, work through administrative tasks, and showcase the accomplishments and accolades of AEPi.

The RD is someone that is a goal-oriented, driven individual that is a self-starter with strong motivation. They are also a critical decision maker and strategic thinker with the ability to excel in a fast-paced environment.

In order to drive high level performance of AEPi within a region, a RD will become familiar with individual campus environments, their regions, and the greater fraternal and higher education landscapes. They will regularly recruit and engage with chapter leaders, chapter members, advisors, regional volunteers, and residential staff. They will also form valuable relationships with partner organizations and campus staff.
