Benefits of Joining Alpha Kappa Psi

Through its various Alumni Chapters and Members located throughout the U.S., Alpha Kappa Psi offers a permanent, professional association with a select group of college-trained individuals, an association of real value, both professionally and socially. Alpha Kappa Psi teaches and emphasizes the observance of high standards of personal and professional conduct and ethics.

Membership affords tremendous networking opportunities -- contacts with alumni members in business, which can assist student members in vocational guidance and help them obtain employment or secure more desirable positions. Other intangible values of membership include: opportunity for improvement of individual personality and ability through experience with others; development of the ability to work with others, to plan and carry out various projects, to speak before a group, to preside over meetings, and to lead others; and friendly, informal association between students and faculty.

Benefits of a material value may include the Student Loan Fund, which makes financial assistance available to students and faculty members to help them complete their studies. Last but not least, members can enlarge their circles of friends and acquaintances through membership in this friendly, professional club.
