FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I BECOME A BROTHER OF ALPHA KAPPA PSI?

Your first opportunity to formally meet the brothers will be during rush week. Information regarding recruitment week can be found on the "Recruitment" tab above and will be posted on our social media channels as well. We encourage all potential new members to attend as many events as possible and interact with the brothers. PNMs who wish to interview for a bid will be allowed to sign-up for one during our last rush event. The brothers will consider your resume, application, rush week interactions, and interview performance to determine whether or not you are granted a bid. A bid is an invitation to join the fraternity on condition that you successfully complete the pledge process. If you choose to accept your bid you enter a multi-week probationary period formally known as pledging where you will work to earn your spot in the brotherhood. All pledges who successfully complete the pledge process are granted lifelong membership as a brother of Alpha Kappa Psi.

IS ALPHA KAPPA PSI ONLY OPEN TO BUSINESS MAJORS?

No, Alpha Kappa Psi is the only co-ed professional fraternity on campus that considers students of all majors offered at LMU. Nearly one-third of our current brothers are pursuing non-business-related majors. Although founded on the principles of finance and commerce, the fraternity has evolved into one that promotes brotherhood and professional development.

WHEN AM I ELIGIBLE TO APPLY?

We recruit new brothers during the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. All students are welcome to attend our recruitment events and network with the brothers, but first-year students will be eligible to receive bids to pledge beginning in the spring semester. Transfer students are welcome to apply and pledge at any time.

AM I ALLOWED TO APPLY TO BOTH DELTA SIGMA PI AND ALPHA KAPPA PSI?

Yes, Delta Sigma Pi and Alpha Kappa Psi purposely schedule recruitment events on different days to allow PNMs to meet and interview with both fraternities. Both will set you up for success, but the two fraternities have different requirements, traditions, and cultures. We want you to be exposed to both and choose the one that best fits you. If granted a bid to both, you must choose one.
