THE WORLD'S OLDEST AND LARGEST PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS FRATERNITY

 

A Message from our President

On behalf of the Alpha Omicron chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity, I would like to personally welcome you to our website.

Founded in 1904, AKPsi has developed over 250,000 college students from around the world into principled business leaders. The Alpha Omicron chapter was re-chartered in the spring of 2011 at Syracuse University and is open to business-minded individuals of all majors and genders.  

Our guiding principles and lifetime values have allowed us to make strides towards establishing ourselves as a community-centered and involved student organization on campus. Those who join this chapter follow a successful tradition of excellence that continues throughout college and into a future career. Our Brotherhood is comprised of a diverse group of high-quality students from all walks of life that are united together by their shared passion to grow and enhance their networking skills, professionalism, and leadership abilities both in the classroom and in the community. Some examples of these traits can be found displayed throughout this website. Our Brothers pride themselves on being well-rounded, high-achieving students with passion; you will often recognize our Brothers as active members of Syracuse University.  

The Alpha Omicron chapter is always looking for new members who embody our core values, beliefs, and business-savvy spirit. I invite you to learn more about our Brotherhood and consider taking advantage of the opportunities to be involved in our chapter or in partnership with our initiatives on campus. As a second-semester freshman joining this fraternity, I never could have imagined the amount of growth and success I would cultivate in just a few years with the assistance and support of my Brothers.  

Warmest Regards,

Jamie Sterling | President

OUR MEMBERS BENEFIT FROM:

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

When you join Alpha Kappa Psi, you join an elite group of professionals who are committed to keeping their skills sharp and careers on track. This is accomplished through professional programs at various levels. Fraternity programs include Principled Business Leadership Institute, The Academy, Case Competition and the College of Leadership. Members gain many valuable skills on the local level as they operate their chapters as "franchises" of Alpha Kappa Psi. Such professional development, when marketed to employers, will set you apart from your peers.

TEAMWORK

 Teamwork is a valuable skill that ranks very high among recruiters.
 
Through teamwork, our members gain an understanding of the importance of service, develop an appreciation of diversity, and utilize critical thinking skills to overcome challenges and celebrate successes. The fraternity experience provides students with an ideal environment for establishing individual relationships while members work together to make the most out of their involvement in Alpha Kappa Psi.

DEDICATION

     Alpha Kappa Psi encourages each member to improve his or her campus and community. This, combined with chapter philanthropy and service projects, result in a level of service unmatched by other college organizations. Thousands of hours and dollars are contributed to worthy charities by Alpha Kappa Psi chapters each year - now that's making a difference! 

EXPERIENCE

     The main focus of Alpha Kappa Psi is to provide leadership development, personal and professional training and the fundamental ingredient higher education misses - experience. Through professional development, educational programs, community service and a hands - on application of formal education, Alpha Kappa Psi students use the business skills they are taught in the classroom to acquire life skills such as the art of compromise, consensus building, project management, team building and networking.
