FAQ

Why should I join Alpha Kappa Psi?

As a nationally recognized business organization, Alpha Kappa Psi offers business-related, social and philanthropic opportunities that complement your experience as a University of Michigan student. Our fraternity is comprised of diverse students with a variety of backgrounds, interests and aspirations, and we strive to excel throughout – and beyond – our college career. Alpha Kappa Psi has proven to be an integral part of that process for many of us.  Our combination of brotherhood and professional support and resources is second to none, and our alumni have continued on to succeed in the world’s top companies and organizations.   The immediate and long-term benefits of membership with our organization are endless.

Why did you join Alpha Kappa Psi?

Every brother has their own reason for rushing Alpha Kappa Psi, and many cite our breadth of professional resources, professional and academic support, and the gaining of life-long friendships and memories as key factors.  There is no “one” reason, however, and we encourage you to attend our preliminary rush events to learn how all of our brothers have benefited in unique ways from this organization.

Does Alpha Kappa Psi only take Business majors?

No, although most members are pursuing business-related majors, Alpha Kappa Psi accepts all majors. We believe that a keen sense of business is important in all fields.  Our members are concentrating in a variety of fields, and are pursuing an equally diverse range of career paths and opportunities.  That we all hold the same drive for professional and business success, in any industry, is what unites us as an organization.

How much of a time commitment is Alpha Kappa Psi?

Mandatory requirements for the pledging process include attendance at weekly meetings and additional events, as well as a brotherhood interview requirement.  While the pledging process is at times very rigorous, what you put into our organization is likely what you will get out of it.  The resources and opportunities within our organization are vast, and you will be given every opportunity to grow as a leader, business professional, and brother.

What about my grades? Will being in Alpha Kappa Psi hinder my academic progress and success?

The members of Alpha Kappa Psi pride themselves on being hard working and organized individuals. As a professional organization, it is a top priority of our members to withhold the highest academic standard. At no time will you be asked to put a social lifestyle before your academics.

Can I rush more than one time?

Yes you can! Many of the brothers of our organization rushed more than one time, and you will not be penalized by any means for coming out for a second time.  Additionally, we offer rush in both the fall and winter semesters.
