Alpha Kappa Psi is the first Professional Business Fraternity in the United States. Chartered, founded, and opened in 1904 right here at New York University, Alpha Kappa Psi has 318 active chapters across the US, and is one of the only organizations to have gone international, with three chapters in the United Kingdom, and one in Canada. For over 106 years the brothers of Alpha Kappa Psi have constituted an elite group of driven, intelligent, and hard-working business leaders. We are proud to continue that legacy of Shaping People, Shaping Business. Here are some of our prominent alumni: o Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon o Malcolm Forbes, Jr. - Founder of Forbes Magazine o J. Willard Marriott - Founder of Marriott Hotels o Joyce C. Hall - Founder of Hallmark Cards, Inc. o Sam Walton - Founder of Wal-Mart and Sam's Club Our chapter at NYU Stern is one of the most active organizations on Stern’s campus and one of the most recognized chapters of Alpha Kappa Psi. Through professional development of our members and Stern students at large, working to strengthen the community at Stern and at NYU or by serving our local community in the city of New York we continue to strive for excellence and fulfil our mission of serving as the premier developer of principled business leaders. Above all, Alpha Kappa Psi has taught so many of us the true meaning of friendship. Once you become a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, you are a brother for life.
