I can't comment on any NPHC organizations. I can only comment on what I know and that is AEPi.
AEPi is tied to the community but isn't a community service fraternity, like many NPHC (if not all). We are a social fraternity in the NIC along with many other fraternities that are historically white and historically Christian.
Our mission is to instill great values in our men of Perserverance,
Faith, Honesty, Mutual Helpfulness, and Humility.
Our mission is to encourage men to be leaders in their communities and in their countries (we are pretty big in Canada so it's plural).
Our mission, if you were to glance at it online, also mentions the word Jewish more times than I can count. It is expected that if there are anti-semitic incidents on campus our fraternity needs to step up. We vote on resolutions of support for Israel at our conventions every year. As well as being tied to our general communities and our countries, AEPi seeks to also create leaders in the Jewish community. That is what makes us Jewish and not historically Jewish.
