The History of Alpha Kappa Psi

History

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

Alpha Kappa Psi attracts a high-quality student. The average grade point 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 JA with student and alumni volunteers
across the nation. 

Mission Statement

Alpha Kappa Psi's Mission is to develop well trained, ethical, skilled,
resourceful and experienced business leaders. 

Creed

Alpha Kappa Psi recognizes that we live in deeds, not years

In thought, not breath

In Service, not figures on the dial. 

We count time by heart throbs, when they beat for God,
for man, for duty.
He who lives most who thinks most, is noblest, acts the best.
