After the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house at Emory University was vandalized with swastikas on Sunday following Yom Kippur, the Georgetown chapter of AEPi will wear blue on Tuesday in solidarity and in a statement against anti-Semitism.

“We’re trying to show support for the brothers at that chapter and stand up against anti-Semitism by wearing blue, which is one of the colors of AEPi nationally,” Josh Milgrom (MSB ’15), president of Georgetown’s AEPi Eta Sigma chapter said. “We’re just trying to … show the entire college community that these acts won’t be tolerated and have no place on any college campus.”

According to Milgrom, AEPi’s executive director sent an email to every chapter in the country, encouraging their members to wear blue.

“Hopefully this will turn into a national thing across every college campus where there’s an AEPi chapter,” Milgrom said.

Members of Emory’s Student Government Association wore blue in solidarity with the fraternity on Monday.

Ben Reiser (COL ’17), a member of AEPi’s Georgetown chapter, said that he was excited to bring the movement to Georgetown.

“We wanted to show that there are other people in AEPi and in the Jewish community elsewhere in the country showing their support,” Reiser said.

AEPi invited all members of the Georgetown community to demonstrate their support by wearing blue on Tuesday.

“This is really our way of making a statement by saying that these hate crimes are inexcusable,” Reiser said.

Milgrom said that the Georgetown chapter has no further plans to address the anti-Semetic vandalism at Emory University.
