History

The desire for a fraternal organization with a business focus led to the founding of Alpha Kappa Psi on Oct. 5, 1904, at New York University. Today the need for this exciting and productive combination of values is just as great. A.K. Psi is among the largest national college fraternities with more than 140,000 members, including 4,500 faculty - most of whom are successful business executives. It is a complete, well integrated, and capably administered national business fraternity standing for the highest ideals of conduct and achievement in the university and professional life.

Alpha Kappa Psi attracts high-quality students. The average grade point average is over 3.0 and members join the fraternity to enhance their business education. The chapters conduct professional programs with both educators and businessmen. To further supplement the traditional classroom experience, there are business field trips, seminars, career activities, research surveys, and other professional events. In addition, service to the school and community is encouraged. Alpha Kappa Psi has formed a national partnership with Junior Achievement, providing Junior Achievement with student and alumni volunteers across the nation.
