Why AKPsi?

Shaping People, Shaping Business

In 1904, Alpha Kappa Psi was founded on the principles of educating its members and the public to appreciate and demand higher ideals in business and to further the individual welfare of members during college and beyond. Alpha Kappa Psi is much more than just another organization or club—it is a unique, prestigious association of students, professors, graduates and professionals with common interests and goals. They join Alpha Kappa Psi to take advantage of valuable educational, friendship and networking opportunities.

Alpha Kappa Psi's purpose is developing well-trained, ethical, skilled, resourceful, and experienced business leaders. AKPsi has a unique blend of both the positives of a structured 'professional' fraternity combined with the interactive activism and connective networking of a 'social' fraternity. This fraternity offers the brotherhood found in traditional Greek life, while providing the prestige, reputation, and professional training that are sought after in the business world.

We are the oldest and largest professional business fraternity, and the only business fraternity to have active chapters overseas. Alpha Kappa Psi is globally recognized as the premier developer of business leaders at the college level.

AKPsi isn't something to simply put on your resume during college. What we offer is an experience that you will not find elsewhere. AKPsi offers a brotherhood that lasts, memories to cherish, an edge above your peers, access to a vast range of knowledge, and networking that is unsurpassed. Alpha Kappa Psi is a fraternity for life.

1. Brotherhood
   Members form meaningful, lifelong friendships with a multitude of people, from fellow students to local business leaders and faculty. The bonds of brotherhood unite members regardless of age, location and experience. The importance of social skills is emphasized with a variety of activities. As a result, a great deal of personal growth and satisfaction is achieved which carries well into the business world.
   
   
2. Professional Development
   When you join Alpha Kappa Psi, you join an elite group of professionals who are committed to keeping their skills sharp and careers on track. This is accomplished through professional programs at various levels. Fraternity programs include regional Success Institutes, The Academy, Case Competition and the College of Leadership. Members gain many valuable skills on the local level as they operate their chapters as “franchises” of Alpha Kappa Psi. Such professional development, when marketed to employers, will set you apart from your peers.
   
   
3. Experience
   The main focus of Alpha Kappa Psi is to provide leadership development, personal and professional training and the fundamental ingredient higher education misses—experience. Through professional development, educational programs, community service and a hands-on application of formal education, Alpha Kappa Psi students use the business skills they are taught in the classroom to acquire life skills such as the art of compromise, consensus building, project management, team building and networking.
   
   
4. Giving Back
   Through teamwork, our members gain an understanding of the importance of service, develop an appreciation of diversity, and utilize critical thinking skills to overcome challenges and celebrate successes. The fraternity experience provides students with an ideal, non-threatening environment for establishing individual relationships while members work together to make the most out of their involvement in Alpha Kappa Psi. Teamwork is a valuable skill that ranks very high among recruiters.
