A Note From the president

Brothers, Friends, and Community Members,

Hello, My name is Sam Benesch and I will be serving as the President for this upcoming 2023-2024 academic year of the Gamma Deuteron Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity here at The University of Texas at Austin. I hail from Austin, but I grew up in the Bay Area in California before moving to the great state of Texas in high school. I am a third-year Communication and Leadership major in the Moody College of Communication while also obtaining a Business minor from the McCombs School of Business. In my previous experiences within Gamma Deuteron, I have served in several positions ranging from our Executive Board and Minor board including Social Chair, Scribe, West Fest Chair, and assisting with several other operational needs within the chapter. Outside of the chapter, I am active in the nonprofit space here in the Central Texas area. Focusing on my work with the Make-A-Wish foundation, I have been an active volunteer, fundraiser, and recent intern for them over the years. A wide range of experiences from my personal, professional, and current experiences within Gamma Deuteron have excellently prepared me to lead this brotherhood to success and prosperity. As I look forward to this year leading the brotherhood, my goal is to ensure our chapter is a welcoming place where current active members and alumni can still call their home. My passion for this chapter is strong, and I will do anything to ensure this brotherhood and Gamma Deuteron continue to build and become even stronger than before.

As THE Jewish fraternity, our brotherhood is very active in the Jewish Community here in Austin. Countless actives serve in leadership positions on Hillel’s Executive Board, Chabad, and Olami Organizations. Furthermore, many of our brothers are deeply involved with Jewish organizations in the Austin area including the local JCC and Shalom Austin. With a diverse brotherhood stretching across many majors, colleges, and other organizations across campus, the reach of AEPi on the UT campus is far and wide.

My first priority as President of Gamma Deuteron is to serve all of my brothers and by extension their families in my strongest capacity. No matter what, health, success, and overall well-being are of the utmost importance for any member of this chapter. I will work endlessly to ensure everyone’s needs are met.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any comments, questions or concerns regarding Alpha Epsilon Pi or any of the active members. I encourage all of you to do this, no matter the reason. It is my honor and pleasure to hold this position. I look forward to hearing from you!

Fraternally,

Sam Benesch
