President's Picture

On behalf of the brothers of the Phi chapter here at the University of Michigan, we welcome you to our Fraternity’s official website.

As the premier business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi is nationally recognized as a developer of principled, ethical business leaders. It is with great excitement and pride that we invite you to explore our organization.

Our brotherhood is composed of the most driven, inspiring, and talented students here at the University of Michigan. Since 1987, our brothers have spanned the community as leaders of several other student organizations, young entrepreneurs, achievers in academia, varsity collegiate athletes, and young professionals in the business world. The Phi Chapter's invaluable network connects us not only throughout campus, but across the nation and abroad. We pride ourselves on our ability to explore our mutual interests in business while building a diverse family on campus. We strive to collaborate by building on our strengths, bettering our community, and providing the resources for academic, professional, and personal success.

We are incredibly excited for our 6th semester as brothers of Alpha Kappa Psi. Much of our amazing experiences here at the University of Michigan have been centered around being members of this great organization. Alpha Kappa Psi has infinite experiences, opportunities, and friendships to offer, and we encourage you to continue your exploration by attending our rush events. Thank you for your interest and we are excited to get to know you better!

Sincerely,
Isha Lele & Peter Gallette

Frequently Asked Questions

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 our college career.

Why did you join Alpha Kappa Psi?

Every brother has their own reason for rushing Alpha Kappa Psi. Many cite our breadth of professional resources, professional and academic support, or the life-long friendships and memories as key factors. There is no "one" reason; however, and we encourage you to attend all of 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 many of our 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 equal 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.

Can I rush more than once?

Yes, you can - in fact, we encourage it! 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.

How much of a time committment 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.

Will being in Alpha Kappa Psi hinder my academic 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 maintain the highest academic standard. At no time will you be asked to put pledging or a social lifestyle before your academics.
