Judaism at MSU

Despite the strong presence of Christianity on Michigan State University's campus, there are also many other religious organizations around campus as well, for example the Jewish population on campus.

There are many opportunities for Jewish students to get involved with Jewish organizations around MSU's campus. For instance, the Jewish Student Union provides Jewish students with opportunities to explore their cultural and ethnic experiences. The MSU Hillel is a non-university organization that works with the JSU in order to bring a Jewish students together to help them build friendships with one another. The Hillel makes it easy for incoming freshman to find other students that they have something in common with and puts on different events and gatherings.

There is also a presence of Judaism within MSU's greek life. The fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi is the Jewish Fraternity of North America. It was founded to provide opportunities for Jewish Men seeking the best possible college and fraternity experience.

According to the MSU Greek Life website, Alpha Epsilon Pi's role is to encourage the Jewish student to remain dedicated to Jewish ideals, values, and ethics and to prepare the student to be one of tomorrow's leaders so that he may help himself, his family, his community and his people.

Michigan State is great place for students to explore their religion and spirituality and connect with students with similar beliefs and values.
