Program Title: Post Passover Bagel Party
Program Summary: For all Jewish students in the fraternities and sororities to come together in eating hametz at the end of Passover. We all gathered at AEPi and ate bagels and doughnuts and held an informal conversation about our Passover celebrations and how easy/hard it was to observe Passover that year.
Program Description: We wanted to host this event in a place that was comfortable to the students in the fraternities and sororities and AEPi graciously opened up their beautiful new home to us. There is a comfortable seating area on the side of the kitchen and all of the students sat around eating and chatting. This was our first program hosted by the JFSC, so we let the students know about its new existence and got their feedback on what they�d like to see happen in the future.
Date: Thursday, April 4, 2002 7-9PM
Goals of Program: To help start up the Jewish Fraternity Sorority Council and provide an environment for students to end Passover together.
Meet Goals? Why or why not? Yes and no. The number of students that we expected to turn out did come to the event, but they were predominantly from the same two houses that had attended the other events. However, everyone who came had a good time and had a great time.

Impact of program? Students enriched?: Even for students who did not traditionally observe Passover, it was a great way for them to recognize the holiday in a way that was comfortable and social. For those that did observe the holiday, because they were finally able to eat bread again (and for FREE) this was the best program ever created! All of the students had a good time and bonded with each other.
