Recruitment is a series of events over two consecutive weeks to allow potential pledges the opportunity to learn more about Alpha Kappa Psi while in turn allowing the members of Alpha Mu to learn more about interested candidates.

Candidates must have at least a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for a bid. In addition, each candidate must attend the minimum number of recruitment events; two open recruitment, a first round interview, one closed recruitment (invitation only), and a second round interview. Lastly, we ask all candidates to submit an application by January 30st at 11:59PM so we may holistically consider them. This application can be found on our website above, on QR codes we will display each night of rush.

We are excited to have recently selected our Fall 2025 pledge class, and we are dedicated to providing them with a rewarding pledgeship experience. The entire chapter, especially our membership team, has designed an exciting semester filled with opportunities for pledges to grow professionally, make a positive impact in the community, and deeply engage with our brotherhood. We are committed to making this a memorable and fulfilling journey for all our new members.

Attending all recruitment events is not mandatory. To be considered for an invitation to closed recruitment, candidates are only required to attend two open recruitment events and participate in a first-round interview. If invited for closed recruitment, it is expected that candidates attend at least one event and a final-round interview. However, while it is not obligatory to attend every event, we highly encourage candidates to do so, as it provides an excellent opportunity for members to get to know you better.

Certainly! Reapplying is encouraged if you did not receive a bid the first time. Many of our current members faced a similar situation before joining. We value candidates who demonstrate determination and personal growth. Your previous experience does not diminish your potential as a member. If you are motivated to be a part of our brotherhood, we encourage you to apply again and showcase your commitment and passion.

Yes. A number of our members are involved in Greek organizations on campus. However, it is important to keep in mind that Alpha Kappa Psi is a significant time commitment, especially during pledgeship. We encourage you to use the recruitment process as an opportunity to ask members about their experiences balancing other student organizations.

No, all genders are welcome and encouraged to rush Alpha Kappa Psi. Despite its title as a fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi has been a co-ed business organization since 1973.

Not at all! Our chapter includes students majoring in business, engineering, communication arts, political science, computer science, non-profit leadership and more.

Open and closed recruitment events have a casual dress code, allowing you to dress comfortably in student casual attire similar to what you would wear for class. However, for both first and second round interviews, a business professional dress code is mandatory. We recognize that not all students may have access to business professional attire. If this applies to you, please feel free to reach out to Membership team during any rush event to discuss alternative options.

We understand that rush can be a stressful and convoluted process and you may still have many questions. That’s why we have created a Rush Toolkit in hopes of easing your anxieties and streamlining the rush process.
