1. What made you want to join a fraternity?

When I first came to Hofstra I didn’t know anybody, and I wanted to get involved on campus, but I couldn’t find something to get involved in right away. AEPI found me. I didn’t know much about them, but they are a Jewish fraternity and it interested me. They introduced me to friends and connections.

2. What do you love about being in a fraternity?

Having a group of friends I can always rely on. The events and mixers help meet more people and network.

3. How do you have time commuting, working, going to class, and being in a fraternity?

I learned time management while I was pledging because pledging took up most of my time. They kind of taught us how to time manage, so I follow that now. I don’t take too long to get work done and we don’t have events every week so it’s really not that bad.

4. Where do you see yourself in five years?

I see myself as a successful real estate investor living on Long Island. I see myself married with a couple kids, still in touch with all my friends and family.

5. What motivates you?

Seeing other people living with not a lot of resources and struggling financially. I don’t want to be like that or working a terrible job. It motivates me to do better.
