On November 7, 1913, the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity was founded here. Almost a hundred years later, AEPi has 9,000 undergraduate members, 90,000 living alumni, and over 160 chapters in 5 countries .

Beautiful triumphal arch. You used to be able to climb to the top and drive underneath .

Make sure to catch the piano guy underneath the arch!

The symbol of NYU, aside from the purple torch .

Always iconic!
