National History

​Alpha Kappa Psi is built on two pillars: brotherhood and professionalism. Bonded by friendship and an interest in business, four men at New York University founded the nation’s first professional business fraternity in 1904, Alpha Kappa Psi. “The Brooklyn Four” sought to establish an organization that would foster the knowledge and skills essential to their personal and professional growth; vital elements that were not to be found in these men’s academic curriculum.

 

Today, the world has witnessed the evolution of their dream into the largest and most thriving professinal fraternity of business in the United States. With College Chapters on over three hunder campuses and nearly one hundred Alumni Chapters nation-wide, Alpha Kappa Psi has also become one tof the most reowned professional networks in the world,giving its growing number of 200,000 members in the competitive edge necessary to make their thrust into corporate America. Alpha Kappa Psi is also growing on an international scale, with more than 200 chapters in the United States, United Kingdom, and Candada.

 

Some famous alumni of Alpha Kappa Psi include Lee lococca, Malcom S. Forbes. Jr., George Kozmetsky, J.C. Penny, Ronald Reagan, and Sam Walton.
