Rho Deuteron's History

It was an unusually cold October night when 25 young Jewish college students met at the Embassy Suites on S. College Avenue. Regional consultants Richie Dinets and Jeremy Greenberg were there to advise, as the Rho Deuteron colony of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity was about to elect it’s first executive board.

At 8:08 PM, the election results for Brother Master (President) were in, and Geoff Schoenberg (‘07) took that coveted position as the first leader of Rho Deuteron in 5 years. The rest of the executive board was elected that night, as well, with Lt. Master, Scribe, Ben Warheit (‘08), Exchequer, Ross Rozansky (‘06), and Brother-at-Large, Matthew Solomon (’08). By the end of that first year, the brotherhood was down to 17 brothers, and had appointed a new Lt. Master, Keith Bielory (’08). In September 2005, the brothers traveled down to University of Maryland, College Park, and were initiated by the brothers of the Delta Deuteron chapter of AEPi. This marked initiation into the brotherhood on a national scale, and such was the beginnings of Rho Deuteron.
