Rush

If you're looking for a great way to meet other students dedicated to academics, professionalism, brotherhood and community service, then Alpha Kappa Psi may be a good fit for you. We selectively recruit at the beginning of the fall and winter term from all schools at the university (our membership is not restricted to business majors).

Alpha Kappa Psi is not a club; it is a professional coed business fraternity, and the social aspects of our fraternity are equally as important as the professional aspects. Alpha Kappa Psi is a lifelong commitment; your involvement in our organization does not end when you graduate.

Who can rush?

Unlike other business fraternities, Alpha Kappa Psi does not limit membership to just students pursuing a degree in business or economics. Anyone can rush AKPsi, even non-business majors. We stress this point because we feel it is this unique characteristic that helps build our strong brotherhood. All that we require is that anyone interested in rushing demonstrate a strong interest in business, economics, or related fields.

What do we do?

We pride ourselves on our balance of professionalism and brotherhood. Some of our events are focused on professional development: we host guest speakers, alumni networking events, and the occasional mock interview. Other events strive to create brotherhood amongst our members: we host fraternity retreats, occasional holiday party, and paint balling excursions, just to name a few. The best part? Every event that takes place is coordinated from start to finish by our membership. You will be amazed at how much you learn from taking on such leadership opportunities.

What sort of students do we look for?

We selectively admit students whom we think strive for the same ideals that we do: brotherhood, integrity, unity, knowledge, and service. While strong academics are admirable, we seek a balanced individual who is as outgoing and socialable as they are ambitious and hard-working. In other words, GPA is a consideration in our admittance decision, but it is not the top factor. Our best advice is to attend our rush events and decide for yourself if you are a fit with our culture.


Expectations

Our recruitment process is selective. We typically receive interest from over 50 rushes each term. We plan on cutting that number in half before the interviews, and then we cut it in half again before we extend bids, leaving us with around 10-15 pledges in our pledge class. It's a selective process, but don't be discouraged - we are not looking for perfect students - we are looking for brothers.
