Alumni guests included Isaac Wolf, Bryan Singer, Jeremy Taub, Josh Steinman, Dan Arking, Mickey Passman, Scott Kelber, Ian Sefferman, Maurice Codik, Dan Levy, and Brian Zwecker.

AEPi brothers helped out at a Pizza Study Break on Tues, May 22 to spread awareness about breast cancer. AEPi also entered a contestant in AOPi's annual Dating Game on Thur, May 24. Ricky Grenis represented the men of AEPi very admirably although he did not succeed in winning a date for himself. Many brothers came to support and cheer him on in the spirit of the event.Lee Solomonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697632239672686228.post-54793475584611220392007-05-21T13:04:00.002-06:002008-05-07T15:22:10.430-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://aepi.uchicago.edu/blog/uploaded_images/formal-704090.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://aepi.uchicago.edu/blog/uploaded_images/formal-704078.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />The 2007 Lion's Ball was held on Sunday, August 20th at HyLife Bistro.
